A
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
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
