A 9-year bond has a yield of 14% and a duration of 8.157 years. If the market yield changes by 85 basis points, what is the percentage change in the bond's price? (Assume modified duration and a positive increase in yield change. Do not round intermediate calculations. Negative value should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

Suppose that the market interest rate rises overnight from 3.5% to 8%. Calculate the present values of the 5.5%, 3-year bond and of the 5.5%, 30-year bond both before and after this change in interest rates. Which bond price fluctuates more to interest rate change? Why?
A bond has a Macaulay duration of 12.00 and is priced to yield 10.0%. If interest rates go up so that the yield goes to 10.5%, what will be the percentage change in the price of the bond? Now, if the yield on this bond goes down to 9.5%, what will be the bond's percentage change in price? Comment on your findings.
A bond currently sells for 1,200, which gives it a yield to maturity of 8%. Suppose that if the yield increases by 25 basis points, the price of the bond declines to 1,155. Based on this price change, what is the duration of the bond? How do i calculate this?
Suppose the yield on a two-year-old Treasury bond is 5 percent and the yield on a one-year Treasury bond is a 4 percent. If the maturity risk premium (MRP) on these bonds is zero (0), what is the expected one-year interest rate during the second year (Year 2)?
Assume a bond with a 10% annual rate has 8 years left to maturity when market rates are at 12%. Assume semi-annual payments. What is the price of the bond at 3 different points in time - today, in 1 year, and in 2 years. Is this a discount or premium bond, and what do you notice about the relationship between the price and maturity value (FV) over time?
Suppose that the yield curve shows that the one-year bond yield is 8 percent, the two-year yield is 7 percent, and the three-year yield is 7 percent. Assume that the risk premium on the one-year bond is zero, the risk premium on the two-year bond is 1 percent, and the risk premium on the three-year bond is 2 percent. a. What are the expected one-year interest rates next year and the following year? The expected one-year interest rate next year = The expected one-year interest rate the following year b. If the risk premiums were all zero, as in the expectations hypothesis, what would the slope of the yield curve be? The slope of the yield curve would be (Click to select) % %
