Introduction:
Bond price: The bond price is the actual price of the bond at which the investor can buy or sell that bond. The bond price is the addition of the current values with coupon payments and current values of par value at maturity.
b.
To calculate: The value of the predicted price by duration rule.
Introduction:
Predicted value of the bond price: The predicted value of the bond price is a future estimation of the price. This price is calculated by the coupon value of the bond. The duration rule establishes a relation between price and interest rates.
c.
To calculate: The value of predicted price using duration rule with convexity.
Introduction:
Predicted value of the bond price: The predicted value of the bond price is a future estimation of the price. This price is calculated by the coupon value of the bond. The duration rule establishes a relation between price and interest rates.
d.
To calculate: The percentage error in price and give conclusion about the accuracy with two rules.
Introduction:
Error of quantity: The error of any quantity is the comparison between the actual value and measured value. For every quantity the acceptable value of error is 10%, 1% error is a high value of error. The value of error should be less than 1%.
e.
To calculate: The bond price, predicted price change and error when YTM increases to 9%.
Introduction:
Bond price: The bond price is the fair price of the bond. The predicted value is measured value for a future time. The error of any quantity is the difference of measured value to the actual value of that quantity.

- A 30-year maturity bond making annual coupon payments with a coupon rate of 14.5% has duration of 11.32 years and convexity of 185.2. The bond currently sells at a yield to maturity of 8%. Required: a. Find the price of the bond if its yield to maturity falls to 7%. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) Price of the bond b. What price would be predicted by the duration rule, if its yield to maturity falls to 7% ? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) Predicted pricearrow_forwardA newly issued bond with 1 year to maturity has a price of $1,000, which equals its face value. The coupon rate is 15% and the probability of default in 1 year is 35%.
