27 28 29 1/1/2027 1/1/2028 1/1/2029 After you have done the above plot, consider the more practical case: the future interest rate is hard to predict and may fluctuate between 0.05 and 0.15. Case 4: YTM is randomly distributed around 0.100.05. Now calculate the bond prices for the time-varying YTM by filling out the pink area to the right of the figure. What do you see on the plot?
