Question
The FAMA Company has two bond issues outstanding. Both bonds pay $100 annual interest plus $1000 face value at maturity. Bond L has a maturity of 15 years, and Bond S has a maturity of 1-year.
What will be the value of each of these bonds when the going rate of interest (yield to maturity) is:
- 8%
- 12%
Why does the longer-term (15-year) bond fluctuate more when interest rates change than does the shorter-term bond (1-year)?
