Chartres, LLC. Bond A Bond B 9% 8% 5 $100.00 $104.055 8% 8% 2 Par $100.00 Price $100.00 (a) What is the DV01 (at current prices) for bonds A and B? (b) What are the Macaulay Durations (at current prices) for the two bonds? (c) What are the modified durations for the two bonds? (d) What is the convexity of the two bonds?
A plot of the yields on bonds with different terms to maturity but the same risk, liquidity, and tax considerations is known as O A. a yield curve. B. a risk-structure curve. OC. a term-structure curve. 5- O D. an interest-rate curve. Suppose people expect the interest rate on one-year bonds for each of the next four years to be 3%, 6%, 5%, and 6%. If the expectations theory of the term structure of interest rates is correct, then the implied interest rate on bonds with a maturity of four years is nearest whole number). %.

BASIC (Questions 1-17) 1. Interpreting Bond Yields Is the yield to maturity on a bond the same thing as the required return? Is YTM the same thing as the coupon rate? Suppose today a 10 percent coupon bond sells at par. Two years from now, the required return on the same bond is 8 percent. What is the coupon rate on the bond now? The YTM? LO 2 LO 2 2. Interpreting Bond Yields Suppose vou buy a 7 percent counon 20-vear
Bond A and Bond B are zero coupon bonds. Bond A has a maturity of 10 years and Bond B has a maturity of 15 years. This would mean that Bond B has more interest rate risk as compared to Bond A. Group of answer choices True False

Use Macauly's Duration Price Approximation formula for this. Before a change in interest rates, your bond has the following characteristics: present value of $5,557.56, Duration of 3.69 years with market interest rates of 5%. Calculate the percentage change in the bond's price if market rates fall to 4.85%. Be sure to include the negative sign IF you think the price goes down. I
