You expect that interest rates will fall by .3% later today. a) Calculate the bond’s macauly duration b) Use the modified duration to find the approximate percentage change in the bond's price. Find the new price of the bond from this calculation. c) Suggest how the estimate in part (b) can be improved.arrow_forwardConsider a 30-year bond with a 10% coupon rate (annual payments) and a $100 face va the initial price of this bond if it has a 5% yield to maturity?

- The term structure for zero-coupon bonds is currently: Maturity (Years) YTM (%) 1 5.2% 2 6.2 3 7.2 Next year at this time, you expect it to be: Maturity (Years) YTM (%) 1 6.2% 2 7.2 3 8.2 Required: What do you expect the rate of return to be over the coming year on a 3-year zero-coupon bond?

Is the market's expectation of the return on the 3-year bond greater or less than yours?arrow_forward1. You buy a 6 year bond with an annual 5% coupon at par value, $1000. If the yield to maturity at the end of the first year changes to 3% what is the end of the year value of the bond(after the coupon payment, remember: bond value does not include this coupon)? 2.
