Suppose a 15-year bond with $100 face value, 5.50% coupon rate and quarterly coupons is currently trading at par. All else constant, if the yield to maturity of the bond suddenly changes to 8.00% APR, what will happen to this bond’s price?

Solutions

Expert Solution

Face value	$ 100
Coupon rate	5.50%
Number of coupon payments per years	4
Coupon payment per period	$ 1.38
Years to maturity	15
Yield to maturity	8.00%
Price after YTM change	$ 78.27

When the bond is trading at par, it means its price is $100 (i.e face value). So after the yield to maturity changes to 8.00%, the price of the bond will drop to $78.27.
