Consider a 10 year bond with a coupon rate of 7% and annual coupon payments. Draw a graph showing the relationship between the price and the interest on this bond. The price should be on the y-axis and the interest rate on the x-axis. To compute the various prices, consider interest rates between 2% and 12% (use 0.5% increments). So your x-axis should go from 2%, then 2.5% … until 11.5% and then 12%. Is the relationship linear (i.e. is the slope constant)? Start at 7%. If interest rates go up or down by 0.5% is the price changing by the same amount? What type of relationship do we observe between prices and interest rates (liner, concave, convex or something else)?

Compute the duration of a bond with a face value of $1,000, a coupon rate of 7% (coupon is paid annually) and a maturity of 10 years as the interest rate (or yield to maturity) on the bond changes from 2% to 12% (consider increments of 1% - so you need to compute the duration for various yields to maturity 2%, 3%, …, 12%) . What happens to duration as the interest rate increases?
