Using a financial calculator: PV= -1012.50, FV = 1000, PMT = 40, n= 24 as thebonds have 12 years until
maturity. The resulting periodic return is 3.919% or 7.84%annually.
Using a financial calculator: PV= -1012.50, FV = 1080, PMT = 40, n= 6 as the bondis callable in 3 years.
The resulting periodic return is 4.932% or 9.86% annually.
By using excel:
= 7.84%
Where,
= 9.86%
Where,
QUESTION 2
=[(1+.08/2)/.08][1-(1+.08/2)^-2*5]
=13(.3244)
=4.22years
2.
The modified duration is calculated by dividing the value of the Macaulay duration by1 plus the yield to
maturity,divided by the no. Of Coupon periods per year.
Modified duration=4.22/(1+.08/2)
=4.06 years
Therefore if interest rates changes by 1%, increase or decrease, the duration of bond will decrease by
0.16 year. Since the modified duration is 4.06, if interest rates changes by 1% overnight, the price of
bond is expected to drop 4.07%.
