Question
Three years ago ABC issued a high - yield bond with a coupon rate of
14%, paying semi-annual coupons. When originally issued the bond
was sold at par and had five years until maturity. Currently, ABC bonds
have a yield - to - maturity of 16%, and the next coupon payment is in 6
month from today. By how much is the duration of ABC bonds higher
than that of an XYZ rated zero - coupon bond with an interest rate of
9% (APR, annually compounded) and 18 months until maturity? Note,
report a negative number if LPH has the lower duration of the two
bonds.
