Economics Suppose you have 10-year zero-coupon bond, risk free, par value of $1,000, priced to yield 10%. Answer the following questions. (1) Find current price (2) Estimate duration-predicted price given +500 b.p. yield change. (3) Estimate duration-predicted price given -500 b.p. yield change. (4) It is known that duration-predicted price is different from actual price. Why?
Consider a two-period coupon bond with face value M = 100, recovery rate a = 0.5, per period coupon rate c = 10%, and survival rate λ = 0.9. If the risk-free rate per period is 5%, what is the bond price now? P = 9+5.5 1+5% + = 99.116 ■ 89.1+4.95 (1+5%)²
Consider the following pure discount bonds with face value $1,000: Maturity Price 1 952.38 2 898.47 3 847.62 4 799.64 5 754.38 Suppose now that the current one-period interest rate is 5% and that the markets expects future one period interest rates to decline by %0.5 per year.(a). Assume first that the liquidity premium is constant at 1%. Draw a graph with the spot yield curve, the forward rates curve and a curve showing expected future one-period interest rates.(b). Assume next that the liquidity premium increases by 0.5% per year from initially being 1%. Draw a graph with the spot yield curve, the forward rates curve and a curve showing expected future one-period interest rates.
Consider a 6% semiannual coupon payment bond with 4 years to maturity currently priced at par (YTM = 6.00%) and has an annual modified duration of 7.02 and approximate convexity of 59.23. Calculate how many bp convexity adds to the price change if the yield increases by 50 bp. Please put your answer in bp with 2 decimal places precision (for example, if the answer is 5.6bp put "5.60")
Consider a bond selling at par with modified duration of 10.6 years and convexity of 210. A 2% decrease in yield would cause the price to increase by 21.2%, according to the duration rule. What would be the percentage price change according to the duration-with-convexity rule? O [A] 21.2% O [B] 25.4% O [C] 17.0% O [D] 10.6%
Suppose you purchase a $1000 Face-Value Zero-Coupon Bond with maturity 30 years and yield to maturity 4% quoted with annual compounding. Show the bond cash flows on a time line and compute the current price of the bond Draw a graph to illustrate how the price of this bond will change as it gets closer to maturity – Price (on y axis) vs Time (on x axis). Why is a zero-coupon bond more sensitive to interest rate changes than similar coupon bearing bonds (2 or 3 sentences)?
