- What is interest rate (or price) risk? Which bondhas more interest rate risk: an annual payment1-year bond or a 10-year bond? Why?arrow_forwardWhich of the following is correct? O If you pay a price above its face value to buy a bond, your return will be higher than its coupon rate. O When market rate is greater than coupon rate, the bond has a price below its face value. O When determining the value of a bond that payments semi-annual payments, one need to use semi-annual coupon rate to determine the coupon payments and semi-annual market rate as discount rate.arrow_forwardSuppose that y is the yield on a perpetual government bond that pays interest at the rate of $1 per annum. Assume that y is expressed with simply com- pounding, that interest is paid annually on the bond, and that y follows the process dy = a(y0 −y)dt + oydWt, where a, y0, and o are positive constants and dWt is a Wiener process.
