Find the price of the bond if its yield to maturity falls to 8% or rises to 10%. {Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.) b. 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.) YTM Duration Rule Duration-with-Convexity Rule
