Students have asked these similar questions
a. Manually compute the modified duration for a 3-years to maturity, 5% annual coupon bond, when the yield-to-maturity is 7%. b. Manually compute the modified duration for a 3-years to maturity, 5% annual coupon bond, when the yield-to-maturity is 5%. c. Compare your answers to above questions. Are they different? If so, what is the reason? Explain clearly
Conceptual Overview: Explore the value of fixed-interest coupon bonds of different terms.   This graph shows the value of 10% coupon bonds of different terms across differing market interest rates. Each bond pays INT = $100 at the end of each year and returns M = $1,000 at maturity. For comparison, the blue line depicts the value of a one-year bond. The term of the other bond in years may be changed using the slider. Drag on the graph to change the current market interest rate (rd) at which the bond (orange curve) is evaluated.   ∑ t = 1 Y r s I N T ( 1 + r d ) + M ( 1 + r d ) = ∑ t = 1 1 5 $ 1 0 0 ( 1 + 0 . 1 0 0 ) + $ 1 0 0 0 ( 1 + 0 . 1 0 0 ) = 1 , 0 0 0 ∑ t=1 Yrs (1+r d ) t INT + (1+r d ) Yrs M =∑ t=1 15 (1+0.100) t $100 + (1+0.100) 15 $1000 =1,000   ∑t=1Yrs(1+rd)tINT+(1+rd)YrsM=∑t=115(1+0.000)t$100+(1+0.000)15$1000=2,500.   1. What is the value of a 15-year 10% $1,000 coupon bond when the market interest rate is 15%? $421$708$1,000$1,5192. What is the value of a 12-year 10% $1,000…
All computations must be done and shown manually Question 4 Complete the following table and draw a graph showing how bond price for each bond changes over time as they move towards their maturity dates. Describe the relationship between bond prices and time remaining for maturity.   Years remaining to maturity BOND A Coupon. rate = 8% p.a. Market interest rate = 6% p.a. BOND B Coupon rate = 6% p.a. Market interest rate = 6% p.a. BOND C Coupon rate = 4% p.a. Market interest rate = 6% p.a. 10       9       8       7       6       5       4       3       2       1       0
