A $9-$year$-$maturity zero$-$coupon bond selling at a yield to maturity of $8\mathrm{.}25\%($effective annual yield$)$ has convexity of $156\mathrm{.}3$ and

modified duration of $8\mathrm{.}06$ years. A $30-$year$-$maturity $6\mathrm{.}5\%$ coupon bond making annual coupon payments also selling at a yield

to maturity of $8\mathrm{.}25\%$ has nearly identical duration$-8\mathrm{.}04$ years$-$but considerably higher convexity of $248\mathrm{.}2.$

Required:

a$.$ Suppose the yield to maturity on both bonds increases to $9\mathrm{.}25\%.$ What will be the actual percentage capital loss on each

bond? What percentage capital loss would be predicted by the duration$-$with$-$convexity rule?

b$.$ Suppose the yield to maturity on both bonds decreases to $7\mathrm{.}25\%.$ What will be the actual percentage capital loss on each

bond? What percentage capital loss would be predicted by the duration$-$with$-$convexity rule?

Required $A$

Suppose the yield to maturity on both bonds increases to $9\mathrm{.}25\%.$ What will be the actual percentage capital loss on each

bond? What percentage capital loss would be predicted by the duration$-$with$-$convexity rule?

Note: Input all amounts as positive values. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to $2$ decimal places.
