3. Given that this bond’s convexity is 14.13, what price would you predict using the duration-with-convexity approximation for this bond at this new yield?
4. What is the percentage error?

Please show how to do it and use excel if possible. thank you

The price elasticity of demand for ambulatory mental health services appears to be about - 0.8, and the price elasticity for general ambulatory medical services appears to be about -0.3. How much would spending increase for each type of care if copays were cut from $40 to $25? *Hint: Need to find out how much the copay decreased by in percentage and that will give you the percentage change in price to plug into your elasticity formula. (PLEASE SHOW WORK ON HOW YOU GOT THE ANSWER, THANK YOU).
