Bond A has maturity of 10 years and bond B has maturity of 4 years. Suppose there is a 50% chance yields remain at 5%, a 25% chance yields rise to 6%, and a 25% chance that yields fall to 4%. Expected percent change in price for bond A is relative to bond B. Bond A is than bond B. O higher/less risky O Almost the same/risker O lower/less risky O higher/risker almost the same/less risky Multiple questions require the following scenario.
