Solutions

Expert Solution

Price of bond = 800 * PVAF ( 8.5 %, 5) + 10000 * PVIF ( 8.5 % , 5)

= 800 * 3.9406 + 10000 * 0.6650

= 3152.48 + 6550

= 9702.48

Current Yield = (Coupon Amount / Price) * 100

= (800 / 9702.48) * 100

= 8.24 %

Duration of asset = { (Current Yield / Yield to maturity) * PVAF ( YTM, n)* (1 + ytm) } + { 1- (Current Yield / Yield to maturity) * n}

= { (8.24/ 8.5) * PVAF ( 8.5%, 5)* (1 .085) } +[ { 1- (8.24 / 8.5)} * 5]

= 4.14 + 0.15

= 4.29 years.

2) Duration of Liabilities =

Years (x) Liability PV@ 8.5%(w) wx

5 15036.56 10000 50000

10000 50000

Duration of Liabilities = 50000 / 10000 = 5 years.

So, the duration of Liabilities doesnot match duration of asset.
