Question

A 30-year maturity bond making annual coupon payments with a coupon rate of 15.5% has duration of 11.25 years and convexity of 182.9. The bond currently sells at a yield to maturity of 8%.


Find the price of the bond if its yield to maturity falls to 7% or rises to 9%. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)



What prices for the bond at these new yields would be predicted by the duration rule and the duration-with-convexity rule? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)



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.)
