The following is certain information about three bonds. All numerical answers should be calculated to at least two decimal places. By convention, the face value of all bonds is taken as $100. For simplicity, assume coupon payments are paid once a year. Bond A: coupon rate 9.75%, term to maturity-10 years, current price = $160.55. Bond B: coupon rate 11.25%, term to maturity-5 years, yicld to maturity -2.35% p.a. Bond C: coupon rate - 6%, term to maturity 1 year, yield to maturity 1.45% p.a. Find the current price of Bond B. From your answer, what do say about this price when compared with the face value of the bond?

Consider four different bonds all having the same yield-to-maturity. Bond A is a consol that pays $50 every period forever and is currently priced at $714.29. Bond B, C and D have the same par value of $1,000. However, they differ in their maturity and coupon rate. Bond B and C have a maturity of 5 years, while bond D has a maturity of 10years. Also, bond B and D have a coupon rate of 6%, while bond C has a coupon rate of 8%. [Hint: Coupons are paid annually to faciliate the calculations. Hence, coupon rates are also given annually. You may want to resort to the annuity formula to make your life easier.] a). Suppose the yield-to-maturity increases by 1%. Calculate the price changes on the individual bonds based on the two duration measures and based directly on the pricing formula. Compare your answers.b).
