Question: 1 ) If you have a bond with face value $ 1 0 0 coupon rate 9 % and YTM 6 % semiannual and 2

1)If you have a bond with face value $100 coupon rate 9% and YTM 6% semiannual and 20 years to maturity . If YTM changes by 20 bp calculate the approximated convexity.
2) If you have a bond with yield-to-maturity 8%. The approximate modified duration is 9 and approximate convexity is 105. What is the estimated Delta in price resulting from a 100 bps decrease in the yield-to-maturity? How much of that adjustment is due to convexity?
3) If you have a bond with $1000 face value pays annual coupon rate 6% with YTM 6% and 3 years to maturity calculate the Macaulay duration. If YTM for the same bond changes to 10% what is the new Macaulay duration and what is your takeaway from this change?
4) If the modified duration is 6.8 and YTM dropped by 75bp, and bond is selling at its face value of $1000 what is the projected new price?
