Consider two bonds, a 3-year bond paying annual coupons at 5% and a 10-year bond also paying annual coupons at 5%. Coupons are paid annually (not semiannually). Both are currently trading at par (i.e., price = face value). A. What must be the current discount rate for these bonds? B. Suppose that the discount rate for these bonds suddenly rise to 9%. What is the new price of the 3-year bond? What is the new price of the 10-year bond? C. Compare the price changes (i.e., the current price of $1,000 vs. the new bond price from Part B) of two bonds. Determine whether long-term or short-term bonds are more sensitive to interest rate fluctuation.

1. A three-year bond with a $1,000 face-value and 10% coupon rate is sold for $1,000 today (Year 1). If one year later (Year 2) the market interest rate decreases by 5%, then this bond will have a market price of $ ____ (round UP to the nearest integer) next year (Year 2). 2. True or False? The current interest rate on a 10-year coupon bond with face value = $1,000 and annual coupon rate = 3.25% is2.42%. This implies the buyer of the bond will receive a $24.2 payment from the bond issuer every year before maturity while holding the bond. 3.
