er the following: i. Two bonds, both with 10 years to maturity, have the same yield to maturity (equal to 5%) but different coupon rates. Coupon payments are annual. Bond A has a Macaulay duration of 7.06 and bond B has a Macaulay duration of 8.76. Based on this information, explain which bond you think has the lower coupon rate. Be sure to present your reasoning. Bond A in part (i) has a face value of $100 and a coupon rate of 4.5%. What is its price?
First, it is known that two bonds have the same redemption value and coupon rate and are priced at the same yield rate. The first bond has a tenor of 4 years, while the second bond has a tenor of 10 years. The market yield rate then falls by 1% such that the prices of the first and second bonds change by D1% and D₂%, respectively, from their initial prices. Determine the relationship between D1 and D₂ Notes: |x| is the absolute value of x. a. D1 and D2 have negative signs and |D1|>|D2|.b. D1 and D2 have a positive sign and |D1|>|D2|.c. D1 and D2 have positive signs and |D1|<|D2|.d. D1 and D2 have different signs and |D1|>|D2|.e. D1 and D2 have different signs and |D1|<|D2|
