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.
