Question: 12. Calculate the requested measures for bonds A and B (assume each bond pays interest Semi-Annually: Bond A: Coupon: 8%, YTM: 8%, Maturity (in years):
12. Calculate the requested measures for bonds A and B (assume each bond pays interest Semi-Annually:
Bond A: Coupon: 8%, YTM: 8%, Maturity (in years): 2, Par: 100.00, Price:100.000
Bond B: Coupon: 9%, YTM: 8%, Maturity (in years): 5, Par: 100.00, Price:104.055
A: Calculate the duration for the two bonds by changing the yield up and down 25 basis points.
13. For Bonds A & B in the previous Question:
B: Using duration, estimate the price of bonds for a 100 basis point increase in yield
C: Using both duration and convexity, estimate the price of the bonds for a 100 basis point increase in yield.
