Question:
A 10-year zero-coupon bond has a face value of $1,000. If its YTM changes from 5% to 6%, what is the resulting dollar value change in its price? Use the price determined from the first yield, 5%, as the base in your calculation. Round to the nearest cent (e.g., $62.891 = 62.89)
[Hint: Price change = P2 - P1, where P1 is the value at YTM=5% and P2 is the value at YTM=6%. If the price dropped, answer should be negative.]
