A

Summary Introduction

To calculate: Predicted price change of the bond in 10 years of duration.

B

Summary Introduction

To calculate: The change in price due to change in convexity of the bond.

Introduction: Convexity is a curve which establishes a relationship between bond price and bond yield. This is also used to manage the risk. Positive convexity means rise in duration but fall in yields.

C

Summary Introduction

To calculate: Modified duration of the bond.

Introduction: The modified duration is defined as a change in security with respect to the change in the interest rates. There is an inverse relationship between price of bond and interest rates.

D

Summary Introduction

To select: Effect on the duration of bond when interest rates decreases.

Introduction : Duration of the bond is dependent on the price of the bond and prices are inversely related to the interest rates. As interest rates fall down indirectly the duration is going upside.
