Bond J has a coupon rate of 3 percent and Bond K has a coupon rate of 9 percent. Both bonds have 13 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?
Percentage change in price of Bond J=?
Percentage change in price of Bond K=?
What if rates suddenly fall by 2 percent instead?
Percentage change in price of Bond J=?
Percentage change in price of Bond K=?
Bond J has a coupon rate of 4%. Bond K has a coupon rate of 14%. Both bonds have 17 years to maturity, a par value of $1000 and a yield to maturity of 8% , and both make semi annual payments. If interest rates suddenly rise by 2%, what is the percentage price change in these bonds? What if rates suddenly fall by 2% instead? What does this problem tell you about interest rate risk of lower coupon bonds?
Excel would be good. Thanks.
