A

Summary Introduction

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

Introduction: The interest rates and price are inversely proportional to each other. If one quantity will increase other will automatically decreases. As yield to maturity is increased by 1 %, the price will hence decrease.

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.

E

Summary Introduction

To select: Indentify the bond type which is equal in all aspects except YTM.

Introduction : The substitution swap is a type of bond which consist of all the properties of the genetic bond but differ from one property. Here the substitution swap is differ from the YTM value and other values are same.

F

Summary Introduction

To select: The bond which has a longest duration.

Introduction : The duration of bond is decided by the value of coupon rate and maturity period of the bond. Among all the longest duration bond has the low coupon rate and highest maturity period of bond. The maturity period is 15 years and 6% is coupon rate.

Your firm is considering an expansion of its operations into a nearby geographic area that the firm is currently not serving. This would require an up-front investment (startup cost) of $989,060.00, to be made immediately. Here are the forecasts that were prepared for this project, shown in the image. The long-term growth rate for cash flows after year 4 is expected to be 4.73%. The cost of capital appropriate for this project is 12.48%. What is the NPV, Profitability Index, IRR and payback in this case?
Use the binomial method to determine the value of an American Put option at time t = 0. The option expires at time t = T = 1/2 and has exercise price E = 55. The current value of the underlying is S(0) = 50 with the underlying paying continuous dividends at the rate D = 0.05. The interest rate is r = 0.3. Use a time step of St = 1/6. Consider the case of p = 1/2 and suppose the volatility is σ = 0.3. Perform all calculations using a minimum of 4 decimal places of accuracy. =
Consider a European chooser option with exercise price E₁ and expiry date T₁ where the relevant put and call options, which depend on the value of the same underlying asset S, have the same exercise price E2 and expiry date T₂. Determine, in terms of other elementary options, the value of the chooser option for the special case when T₁ = T2. Clearly define all notation that you use.
