Given the following bond:
Par Value = $1000
Time to Maturity = 8 years
Coupon Rate = 6.25%
Coupons are paid annually.
Calculate the Duration of this bond.
Please note this is calculating the duration so you do not need
the discount rate or the market price

A bond has 3 years to maturity, a 10% annual coupon and a par
value of $100. The bond pays a continuously compounded interest of
7%. Suppose the interest rate goes down to 6%. What would be the
percentage change in the price of the bond implied by the duration
plus convexity approximation?

A coupon has 20 years to maturity. Coupon rate is 10% annually
with par value of $1000. Current yield to maturity is 10%. What is
the convexity of the bond? Please estimate the convexity using
changes in bond prices and use 200 basis points to calculate the
convexity. (please show full working)
A bond has a 10-year maturity, a 5% coupon paid semiannually, and
$1000 par value.
The required rate of return (yield to maturity)on the bond is
11%.

Bond 1 has a 10% annual coupon rate, $1000 maturity value, n = 5
years, YTM = 10% (pays a $100 annual coupon at the end of each year
and $1,000 maturity payment at maturity at the end of year 5). Bond
2 is a zero coupon bond with a $1000 maturity value, and n =
5years; YTM= 10%. (has no coupon payments; only a $1,000 maturity
payment paid at maturity at the end of year 5).
