- A n-year annual coupons bond with coupon rate r per year. The yield rate is 0.10. Calculate the Macaulay duration of the bond for all four possible combinations of parameters: • n = 10 or 30 • r = 0.05 or 0.15Assume the pure expectation theory holds: If the return on 6 years maturity treasury bill (TB) is 8%, the return on 1-year maturity TB is 6%, the return on a 2 years maturity (TB) is 7%, X is the return on a 3-year maturity bond. a. Calculate X, the forward rate, the return on a 3-year maturity bond, 3 years from today. b. Graph the yield curve c. Based on the yield curve you just derived, what are your expectations of the future performance of the economy?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)?
- Consider a coupon bond with a face value of $100, a coupon rate of 25%, a time-to-maturity of two years and a price of $121.97. What is its yield-to-maturity?(Use the quadratic formula)Calculate the duration and convexity of a bond, 20 years to maturity bond and 6% coupon rate. Assume a flat yield curve at 4%. (You can use Macaulay or effective versions for duration and convexity).Suppose you are given the following information about the default-free, coupon-paying yield curve: Maturity (years) Coupon rate (annual payment) YTM a. Use arbitrage to determine the yield to maturity of a two-year zero-coupon bond. b. What is the zero-coupon yield curve for years 1 through 4? Note: Assume annual compounding. a. Use arbitrage to determine the yield to maturity of a two-year zero-coupon bond. The yield to maturity of a two-year, zero-coupon bond is %. (Round to two decimal places.) b. What is the zero-coupon yield curve for years 1 through 4? The yield to maturity for the three-year and four-year zero-coupon bond is found in the same manner as the two-year zero-coupon bond. The yield to maturity on the three-year, zero-coupon bond is %. (Round to two decimal places.) %. (Round to two decimal places.)

- Consider a 4-years bond with a 8% annual coupon rate and semi-annual payments. Let us suppose that the zero coupon curve rate today with annual compounding is given by the one in Table 1.(a) Calculate the discount factors for all the previous maturities and then the bond price.(b) Calculate the equivalent continuous compounding rates. What do you expect as result for the bond price with these rates? Should it be lower, higher or equal to the one in part (a)? Why? The equivalent continuous compounding rates should be lower than the annual rates. Why?A 30-year maturity bond making annual coupon payments with a coupon rate of 11.00% has a ation of 13.50 years. The bond currently sells at a yield to maturity of 5.75%. Ducation a. Find the exact dollar price of the bond if its yield to maturity falls to 4.75%. What is the % change in price? b. Assume that you need to make a quick approximation using the duration rule. What is the % change in price as approximated by the duration rule when the yield to maturity falls to 4.75%? c. Does the duration-rule provide a good approximation of the % price change in this case? Why or why not?For time value of money calculations (circle all that apply): Increasing i increases present value Increasing i increases future value More frequent compounding increases future value More frequent discounting increases present value n is always expressed in years
- Give typing answer with explanation and conclusion Consider a coupon bond with coupon payment=4.25, M=100, and n=2. Suppose ?1 = 4% and ?2 = 4.24%. Consider a forward contract for the delivery of the coupon bond in one period from today. Calculate the forward price using the following two approaches: 1) use the forward rate to price the forward contract; 2) use the cost of carry approach: spot-forward parity adjusted for the coupons.Compute the Macaulay duration, modified duration and convexity of a coupon bond with face value F = 100, current price P 100, current price P = 92, maturity T I = 8% 4 years, that pays a semi-annual coupon of C =Try it: Duration 1. Consider a bond that has a coupon rate of 5 percent, five years remaining to maturity, and is priced to yield 4%. Assume semi-annual interest. a. What is the effective duration for this bond? b. What is the approximate change in price if the yield increases from 4% to 5%?
