A bond has a Macaulay duration of 10.00 and is priced to yield 8.0%. If interest rates go up so that the yield goes to 8.5%, what will be the percentage change in the price of the bond? Now, if the yield on this bond goes down to 7.5%, what will be the bond's percentage change in price? Comment on your findings. If interest rates go up to 8.5%, the percentage change in the price of the bond is nothing%. (Round to two decimal places.) If interest rates go down to 7.5%, the percentage change in the price of the bond is nothing%. (Round to two decimal places.) Comment on your findings. (Select the best answer below.) A. As interest rates decrease, the price of the bond decreases. As interest rates increase, the price of the bond increases. B. As interest rates increase or decrease, the price of the bond will always increase. C. As interest rates increase or decrease, the price of the bond remains the same. D. As interest rates…

QUESTION 7 As a recently hired analyst, you are tasked with evaluating your firm's bond portfolo, The first bond you evaluate has a constant payment of $427 per year and the prospectus claims the present value of the bond is $5,008. What is the Interest rate of the bond in question? Submit your answer in percent to the first decimal place, that is, 2.57% = 2.6 or 2.6%
The price of a bond with no expiration date is originally $1,000 and has a fixed annual interest payment of $150. If the price of the bond then falls by $250, what will be the interest rate yield to a new buyer of the bond?
The remarkable thing about the events described in the article is that the yield on the 3-month T-bill was briefly negative. To see how this could happen, consider the relationship between bond prices and bond yields. A 3-month T-bill with a maturity value of $1,000 is just a piece of paper that entitles the holder to $1,000 in three months. For example, if you were to buy a 3-month T-bill on September 24, 2008, with a maturity value of $1,000 and 90 days left to maturity, the U.S. government would pay you $1,000 on December 23, 2008. In general, the price of a bond is less than its maturity value. That is, if you are going to give up a certain amount of money for the duration of the bond, you expect to be paid for this loss of liquidity and compensated for inflation that could reduce the value of the repayment at the end of the period. Therefore, a piece of paper entitling you to $1,000 on December 23 would usually be worth less than $1,000 on September 24. The yield on a bond is a…
10. The bond has a 30-year maturity, an 8% coupon, and sells at an initial yield to maturity of 8%. Because the coupon rate equals yield to maturity, the bond sells at par value, or $1,000. The modified duration of the bond at its initial yield is 11.26 years, and its convexity is 212.4. If the bond's yield increases from 8% to 10%, the bond price will fall to $811.46, a decline of 18.85%. a. How does the price change according to the duration rule? b. How does the price change according to the duration-with-convexity rule?
Consider a $1200 bond that makes $30 annual coupon payments. If the interest rate is 2 percent and the bond matures in two years, what is the bond's present value? Carefully follow all mathematical instructions. Round intermediate steps to four decimal places and your final answer to two decimal places.
