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.

1. Use duration to explain the “negative convexity” exhibited by callable bonds. Why is negative convexity a “negative” attribute from the investor’s viewpoint? 2. What happens to the “average life” of a pool of mortgages when prepayment speed increases? Why does prepayment speed increase when interest rates decrease? Discuss the negative convexity exhibited by mortgage-backed “passthrough” certificates in the context of duration and pre-payment speed. 3. Suppose a financial institution currently has a positive duration gap. How would its net...

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. Suppose the yield to maturity on both bonds increases by 1%. What percentage change in price of the bonds as predicated by the duration plus convexity model? (6) Repeat part (a), but this time assume that the yield to...

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.
