ID: 2750782 • Letter: A

Question

A 15-year to maturity bond with a face value of $1000, coupon of 6%, paid annually, is priced at 97 (% of face value).

Consider a 20 basis point increase in yield to maturity. What is the percentage change in the price of the bond estimated by modified duration? What is the actual percentage change in the price of the bond? Consider a 200 basis point increase in yield to maturity. What is the percentage change in the price of the bond estimated by modified duration? What is the actual percentage change in the price of the bond? Vice versa, consider a 20 basis point decline in yield to maturity. What is the percentage change in the price of the bond estimated by modified duration? What is the actual percentage change in the price of the bond? Consider a 300 basis point decrease in yield to maturity. What is the percentage change in the price of the bond estimated by modified duration? What is the actual percentage change in the price of the bond?  

Explanation / Answer

Coupon rate 6% YTM formula = {Interest payment+(Face value-Market price)/Years to maturity}/(face value+2*market price)/3 Discount rate =YTM ? YTM =[60+(1000-970)/15]/(1000+970*2)/3 = Face Value               1,000 YTM =6.33% Current Price                  970 Yers to maturity                     15 Period Cash Flow Dsicount Factor @6.33% PV
