Explain what you see from the pricing calculations. How do the two bonds differ? Bond C Bond Price = PV(rate,nper,pmt,fv) Given: n = Period which takes values from 0 to the nth period = 0,1,2,3 & 4 Cn = Coupon payment in the nth period = 10%*$1,000 = $100 YTM = interest rate or required yield = 9.6% P = Par Value of the bond = $1,000 Bond Z Bond Price = PV(rate,nper,pmt,fv) Given: n = Period which takes values from 0 to the nth period = 0,1,2,3 & 4 Cn = Coupon payment in the nth period = 0%*$1,000 = $0.00 YTM = interest rate or required yield = 9.6% P = Par Value of the bond = $1,000 years Bond A Bond Z 4 $1,012.79 $693.04 3 $1,010.02 $759.57 2 $1,006.98 $832.49 1 $1,003.65 $912.41 0 $1,000.00 $1,000.00

A fixed rate bond with notional 1 pays annual coupons of c at times T1,T2,...,Tn whereTi+1 =Ti+1andnotional1attimeTn. a) Write down the bond price Bc^(FXD)(t) at time t ≤ T in terms of ZCBs.
Bonds have a maturity risk premium that can be modeled as the following:MRP = (t-1) 0.3%were t represents the years to maturity. What is the Maturity risk premium of a bond that matures in 8 years? answer in % without the symbol
Q2. Duration and Convexity Bond A has face value at $1,000, coupon rate of 6% paid semi-annually, 5 years to maturity, and a yield to maturity of 7%. a. Using the bond pricing formula, calculate the price of the bond and duration. ABC b. Calculate the convexity of the bond. c. Using the calculations from above, what is the "approximated bond price change" using duration and convexity, if the interest rate increases by 1%? d. What is the actual change in the bond price if the interest rate increases by 1%? e. Based on c) and d) above, discuss the roles of duration and convexity in estimating the price change. Which risk measure plays a bigger role? f. Suppose you have two bonds with the same maturity date but one bond has a 10% coupon rate while the other has a 5% coupon rate. Which of these two bonds would have a higher duration?
Question 3. A fixed rate bond with notional 1 pays annual coupons of c at times T1, T2, . . . , Tn where Ti+1 = Ti + 1 and notional 1 at time Tn. a) Write down the bond price BFXD c (t) at time t ≤ T0 in terms of ZCBs. b) Suppose t = T0 = 0. The yield of the bond is defined as the value Y such that B FXD c (0) = Xn i=1 c (1 + Y ) i + 1 (1 + Y ) n , that is, the rate at which IRR discounting gives the bond price. By summing a geometric series, show that BFXD c (0) = 1 if and only if Y = c. c) By writing a swap as the difference between a fixed rate bond and a floating rate bond, show that BFXD c (0) = 1 if and only if c = y0[0, Tn]. Remark 1. This exercise shows that the T-year spot swap rate is the bond coupon such that a T-maturity bond has price par, that is 100% of notional.

Calculating the risk premium on bonds The text presents a formula where (1+1) = (1-p)(1 +i+x) + p(0) where i is the nominal interest rate on a riskless bond x is the risk premium p is the probability of default (bankruptcy) If the probability of bankruptcy is zero, the rate of interest on the risky bond is When the nominal interest rate for a risky borrower is 8% and the nominal policy rate of interest is 3%, the probability of bankruptcy is %. (Round your response to two decimal places.) When the probability of bankruptcy is 6% and the nominal policy rate of interest is 4%, the nominal interest rate for a risky borrower is %. (Round your response to two decimal places.) When the probability of bankruptcy is 11% and the nominal policy rate of interest is 4%, the nominal interest rate for a risky borrower is %. (Round your response to two decimal places.) The formula assumes that payment upon default is zero. In fact, it is often positive. How would you change the formula in this case?…
