Conceptual Overview: Explore the value of fixed-interest coupon bonds of different terms. This graph shows the value of 10% coupon bonds of different terms across differing market interest rates. Each bond pays INT = $100 at the end of each year and returns M = $1,000 at maturity. For comparison, the blue line depicts the value of a one-year bond. The term of the other bond in years may be changed using the slider. Drag on the graph to change the current market interest rate (rd) at which the bond (orange curve) is evaluated. ∑ t = 1 Y r s I N T ( 1 + r d ) + M ( 1 + r d ) = ∑ t = 1 1 5 $ 1 0 0 ( 1 + 0 . 1 0 0 ) + $ 1 0 0 0 ( 1 + 0 . 1 0 0 ) = 1 , 0 0 0 ∑ t=1 Yrs (1+r d ) t INT + (1+r d ) Yrs M =∑ t=1 15 (1+0.100) t $100 + (1+0.100) 15 $1000 =1,000 ∑t=1Yrs(1+rd)tINT+(1+rd)YrsM=∑t=115(1+0.000)t$100+(1+0.000)15$1000=2,500. 1.

An insurance company is analyzing the following three bonds, each with five years to maturity, annual interest payments, and is using duration as its measure of interest rate risk. What is the duration of each of the three bonds? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.

Find the Macaulay duration and the modified duration of a 15-year, 7.5% corporate bond priced to yield 5.5%. According to the modified duration of this bond, how much of a price change would this bond incur if market yields rose to 6.5%? Using annual compounding, calculate the price of this bond in one year if rates do rise to 6.5%. How does this price change compare to that predicted by the modified duration? Explain the difference.
