Question: Q 2 . Consider three zero coupon bonds: 5 Y yielding 4 . 0 0 % , 1 0 Y yielding 4 . 5 0

Q2. Consider three zero coupon bonds:5Y yielding 4.00%,10Y yielding 4.50%, and 30Y yielding 5.00%.Q2a Calculate duration and convexity for all three (3 points)Q2b If you want to construct a 100M portfolio of 5Y and 30Y to match the dollar duration of 100M position in 10Y,what are the weights in 5Y and 30Y respectively? (3 points)Q2c What is the $convexity for a short 100M of 10Y zero? What is $convexity for LONG 100M portfolio of 5Y and30Y as constructed in Q2b?(3 points)Page 3Q2d. What is the 1-day net interest payment (ie carry) for the long-short duration-neutral portfolio above in Q2c? Isit positive or negative (3 points)Q2e. What is the break-even amount of parallel movement in yield curve in a single day (breakeven means theconvexity pnl will offset daily interest payment)(3 points)
