Assignment
Bond X is a premium bond making semiannual payments. The bond pays a coupon rate of 12 percent, has a YTM of 10 percent, and has 16 years to maturity. Bond Y is a discount bond making semiannual payments. This bond pays a coupon rate of 10 percent, has a YTM of 12 percent, and also has 16 years to maturity. The bonds have a $1,000 par value.
What is the price of each bond today? (Do not round intermediate calculations.
If interest rates remain unchanged, what do you expect the price of these bonds to be one year from now? In six years? In eleven years? In 15 years? In 16 years? (Do not round intermediate calculations.
Both Bond Sam and Bond Dave have 10 percent coupons, make semiannual payments, and are priced at par value. Bond Sam has three years to maturity, whereas Bond Dave has 18 years to maturity.
If interest rates suddenly rise by 2 percent, what is the percentage change in the price of Bond Sam and Bond Dave? (Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answers as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
If rates were to suddenly fall by 2 percent instead, what would be the percentage change in the price of Bond Sam and Bond Dave? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answers as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
