Consider the following table Bond Bond A Bond B Bond C Bond D Bond E Bond F Maturity 2 Yr 2 Yr 5 Yr 5 Yr 10 Yr 10 Yr Coupon 4% 7% 4% 7% 4% 7% Frequency Annual Semi-Annual Annual Semi-Annual Annual Semi-Annual Price 99.5 ? 99.5 ? 99.5 ? Yield ? 6% ? 6% ? 6% 1. Complete the table. 2. Plot the yield vs Price graph for all the bonds. 3. Suppose the yield moves up by 50 Basis Points (bps) i.e.0.5%. Determine the change in price of each bond. 4. Suppose the yield moves down by 50 Basis Points (bps) i.e.0.5%. Determine the change in price of each bond. 5. Are the changes symmetric i.e., up moves in price = down move in price for the same amount of change in yield. 6. For which bond the difference between the above up and down moves are the largest? 7. For which bond the difference between the above up and down moves are the least?
