Summary Introduction

To calculate: The change in price of the both strategy.

Introduction: The change in price is calculated by the modified duration and change in yield. Price change is product of the modified duration to the interest rates of the strategy. It simply shows the change of the prices compared to the initial value.

Answer to Problem 12CP

The change in price of strategy 1 is 4.14% and 3.59% of strategy 2 .

Explanation of Solution

Here, the formula of modified duration is given,

Modified duration = (Price change/ Initial price) / Yield change , the price change is calculated by this formula. Calculation of price change is given below,

For strategy 1 , there are three types of maturity periods, a) 5 years with modified duration is 4.83 and interest rates is 0.75 with $5 million investment in it, b) 15 years with modified duration is 14.35 and interest rates is 0.25 but investment in it is $0million, c) 25 years with modified duration of 23.81 with 0.50 interest rates and $5 million investment in it.

Now price change for 5 year’s maturity is given below,

  Price change = modified duration × interest rates

  = 4.83 × 0.75%= 3.6225%

Price change for 25 year’s maturity is given below,

  Price change = 23.81 × 0.50%                        =11.905%

Hence the total price change is given below,

  Net percentage change = ( 0.50 × 3.6225%) + ( 0.50 × 11.905%)                                        =4.14%

Hence percentage change in strategy 1 is 4.14%.

Calculate for strategy 2 , it consists only 15 year’s maturity period with 14.35 modified duration and $10 million investments in it.

  Price change = 14.35 × 0.25%                         =3.5875%

Hence change in price of strategy 2 is 3.59%.

Janet Foster bought a computer and printer at Computerland. The printer had a $860 list price with a $100 trade discount and 210210 , n30n30 terms. The computer had a $4,020 list price with a 25% trade discount but no cash discount. On the computer, Computerland offered Janet the choice of (1) paying $150 per month for 17 months with the 18th payment paying the remainder of the balance or (2) paying 6% interest for 18 months in equal payments. Assume Janet could borrow the money for the printer at 6% to take advantage of the cash discount. How much would Janet save? Note: Use 360 days a year. Round your answer to the nearest cent.
