Question: PLEASE HELP WITH PARTS C, d-1, e-3, and e-4. A 30-year maturity bond making annual coupon payments with a coupon rate of 14.0% has duration

PLEASE HELP WITH PARTS C, d-1, e-3, and e-4.

A 30-year maturity bond making annual coupon payments with a coupon rate of 14.0% has duration of 11.36 years and convexity of 186.4. The bond currently sells at a yield to maturity of 8%.

a. Find the price of the bond if its yield to maturity falls to 7%. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) Correct Answer: $1,868.63

b. What price would be predicted by the duration rule? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) Correct Answer: $1,851.70

c. What price would be predicted by the duration-with-convexity rule? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) NEED HELP

d-1. What is the percent error for each rule? (Enter your answer as a positive value. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round "Duration Rule" to 2 decimal places and "Duration-with-Convexity Rule" to 3 decimal places.) YTM= 7%

d-2. What do you conclude about the accuracy of the two rules? multiple choice 1 The duration rule provides more accurate approximations to the actual change in price. Answer: The duration-with-convexity rule provides more accurate approximations to the actual change in price.

e-1. Find the price of the bond if it's yield to maturity rises to 9%. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) Correct Answer: $1,513.68

e-2. What price would be predicted by the duration rule? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) Correct Answer: $1,499.24

e-3. What price would be predicted by the duration-with-convexity rule? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

e-4. What is the percent error for each rule? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round "Duration Rule" to 2 decimal places and "Duration-with-Convexity Rule" to 3 decimal places.) YTM= 9%

e-5. Are your conclusions about the accuracy of the two rules consistent with parts (a) (d)? multiple choice 2 Yes No
