A semiannual payment bond with a $1,000 par has a 7 percent quoted coupon rate, a 7 percent promised YTM, and 10 years to maturity. What is the bond's duration? If interest rates are expected to rise by one half of a percent, by how much would you expect the price to change using the modified duration equation? How much would you expect the price to change using convexity? You need to use the bond duration and convexity calculator to answer this question.
1. What does the following yield curve tell us? Treasury yield curve for January 20, 2006. Maturity Yield (%) 1 month 3.95 3 months 4.35 6 months 4.48 1 year 4.44 2 years 4.37 3 years 4.32 5 years 4.31 7 years 4.32 10 years 4.37 20 years 4.59
Suppose the value of a new financial security increases with time, such that one dollar of the financial currency at year 0 is worth V(t) = exp{2/t-0.15f} dollars at time t. If the interest rate is 10 percent, after how many years should the financial asset be sold in order to maximize the PDV of the sale? (NOTE: Write your answer in number format, with 2 decimal places of precision level; do not write your answer as a fraction. Add a leading zero and trailing zeros when needed. Use a period for the decimal separator and a comma to separate groups of thousands.)
If market expectations are accurate, what are the expected yields to maturity on 1-and 2-year zero coupon bonds next year? And if you purchase a 3-year zero-coupon bond now, what is the expected total rate ofreturn over the next year assuming that you will sell the bond at the expected price(price that matches the expected yield in the previous part)? Ignore taxes.
Based on economics forecast and analysis, one year Treasury bill rates and liquidity premiums for the next four years are expected to be as follows 5.65%, 6.75% 6.85% 7.15% respectively and the liquidity premium from 2nd year to 4th year is 0.05%, 0.10%, 0.12%. Using the liquidity premium theory, plot the current yield curve. Make sure you label the axes on the graph and identify the four annual rates on the curve both on the axes and on the yield curve itself.
