Question 1. Bond pricing using spot rates You have a 2 year semiannual coupon bond with 6 percent coupon rate and attempt to value of the bond. To price the value of the bond, you need to use a cash flow table as below. (Note that all the yields are continuously compounded) Maturity Zero Rate Present Value of CF 0.5 1.0 1.5 5.10 5.82 6.44 6.82 2.0 103 a. Compute the missing present values (PV) of each cash flow. b. Compute the value of bond price by taking sum of all present values. c. Compute the duration and convexity. d. What is the new bond price if the term structure of yields move up 15 basis points.
