Q1:
A 20-year bond has a coupon rate of 8 percent, and another bond of the same maturity has a coupon rate of 15 percent. If the bonds are alike in all other respects, which will have the greater relative market price decline if interest rates increase sharply? Why?
P2. Bond J has a coupon rate of 3 percent. Bond K has a coupon rate of 9 percent. Both bonds have 19 years to maturity, make semiannual payments, and have a YTM of 6 percent. If interest rates suddenly rise by 2 percent, what is the percentage price change of these bonds? What if rates suddenly fall by 2 percent instead? What does this problem tell you about the interest rate risk of lower-coupon bonds?
3. Asea Brown Boveri (ABB Group) Bond has a coupon rate of 14%. Caterpillar Bond has a coupon rate of 6%. Both bonds have 20 years to maturity, a par value of $1,000 and a YTM of 10% and both make semiannual payments. If interest rates suddenly rise by 2%, what is the percentage change in the price of these bonds? Instead, if rates suddenly fall by 2%, what is the percentage change in the price of these bonds? As interest rates fall by 2%, which of the two bonds would you prefer to own. Explain briefly, why?
