Question 1. Duration and Banking Consider a 5-year bond with annual coupon payments. The bond has a face value (prin- cipal) of $100 and sells for $95. Its coupon rate is 3%. (The coupon rate is the ratio between the coupon value and the face value). The face value is paid at the maturity year in addition to the last coupon payment. 1. Calculate the bond's yield to maturity (YTM) and duration using its YTM. 2. Suppose the bond's YTM changes in the same way as a 5-year T-bill interest rate. Use the bond's modified duration to evaluate the relative change in the 5-year bond's value if the interest rate on 5-year T-bills falls by one basis point, that is, by 0.0001. This part was extracted from the balance sheet of the First Bank of Australia: Assets (Billion AUD) Bond 80 Liabilities (Billion AUD) Fixed-rate liabilities 60 where "Bond" here refers to the bond we specified above and the fixed-rate liabilities (banks future payment obligations) have an average duration of 4 years and YTM of…

Question 4 The following is a list of prices today for bonds with different maturities. Face value is 100. Assume that the bonds pay their coupons annually, and that the YTMs in the table are annualized and compounded annually. Both coupon rate and yield to maturity (YTM) is in percent. Maturity (years) Price Coupon rate YTM 1 98.00 0 ?2 100 ? 5.00 3?9 6.00 Fill in the missing values in the table.What are the annualized spot rates for years 1 & 2 (r1 & r2)? Given r1 & r2, what is the price of a 2-year coupon bond with annual coupon rate of 7%? What is the duration of this bond?

Consider the following bonds: Bond A B CD с Coupon Rate (annual payments) 0.0% 0.0% 4.3% 7.7% The percentage change in the price of bond A is |___%. (Round to one decimal place.) What is the percentage change in the price of each bond if its yield to maturity falls from 6.9% to 5.9%? The percentage change in the price of bond B is %. (Round to one decimal place.) Maturity (years) 15 The percentage change in the price of bond C is %. (Round to one decimal place.) The percentage change in the price of bond D is %. 21500

Using the following information, determine the real rate of interest: Rate % inflation 0.69 T-bill 5.00 10y T-Bond 6.00 10y AAA Corporate 6.41 10y AA Corporate 8.24

1 Roy's Welding's bond has an annual rate of return of 5.97 percent and a face value of $1,000. The current rate of inflation is 3.02 percent. What is the real rate of return on these bonds?

Suppose that the term structure of interest rates is: t 0.5 1 1.5 2 r 1% 1.2% 1.4% 1.8% Interest rates are annual interest rates that are semi-annually compounded. 1. Calculate the price and modified duration of a 1-year bond with a 6% coupon rate, with coupons paid semi-annually. The bond has a face value of 100.0 2. Calculate the price and modified duration of a 2-year bond with a 10% coupon rate, with coupons paid semi-annually. The bond has a face value of 100.0 3. Compare your results from 1 and 2 above. Which bond is more sensitive to changes in interest rates?

1. Answer the below questions for bond A. Bond A Coupon 8% Yield to maturity 10% Maturity (years) 10 Par $100.000 Price $87.5378 (a) Calculate the actual price of the bond for a 100-basis-point increase in interest rates. (b) Using duration, estimate the price of the bond for a 100-basis-point increase in interest rates. (c) Using both duration and convexity measures, estimate the price of the bond for a 100-basis-point increase in interest rates. (d) Without working through calculations, indicate whether the duration of bond A would be higher or lower if the yield to maturity is 12% rather than 10%.
