Price is 92.4, YTM 10.162%, maturity 10/1/2023, coupon 7.20% semiannual. Using duration (duration to worst) and convexity (convexity to worst), if the yield FALLS by 60 basis points, what is the dollar and percentage change of the bond?

The Rm (return on the S & P 500) is -5% (negative), the Rf (T-bill or risk-free rate) is 2%, and the beta is -2.00 (negative). If the portfolio is valued at $500,000, what should it be worth after one year?

Using bond prices to calculate duration and convexity: A 20-year bond with a 6.5% coupon paid semiannually has a yield of 6.24%. Using a 1 bp change in yield, compute the approximate modified duration and approximate convexity of the bond. Using these, compute the approximate change in bond price when the bond yield increases by 150 bps. Calculate the exact change in bond price when the bond yield increases by 150 bps, and compare the two.

Question 4. A 12.75-year maturity zero-coupon bond has convexity of 150.3 and modified duration of 11.81 years. A 30-year maturity 6% coupon bond with annual coupon payments has nearly identical modified duration of 11.79 years, but considerably higher convexity of 231.2.

Duration provides a good approximation of changes in the price of an option-free bond, when the change in yield is relatively small. However, for large changes in yield a convexity adjustment needs to be incorporated. With the aid of your own fully annotated diagram, discuss the statement above and address why a convexity adjustment is necessary.
