a. If interest rates suddenly rise by 2 percent, what is the percentage change in the price of Bond Sam and Bond Dave?

Bond Sam's price will change by -9.12%Bond Dave's price will change by -18.05%

b. If rates were to suddenly fall by 2 percent instead, what would be the percentage change in the price of Bond Sam and Bond Dave?

Bond Sam's price will change by 10.26%Bond Dave's price will change by 24.35%

Explanation:

Bond Sam

9% / 2 = 4.5% semiannual payments

6 years to maturity = 12 payments

present value = future value = 1000

PV of face value = 1,000 / (1 + 4.5%)¹² = $589.66PV of coupon payments = 35 x 9.11858 (PV annuity factor, 4.5%, 12 periods) = $319.15

new market price = $589.66 + $319.15 = $908.81

if interest increases by 2%, present value (market value) will decrease by $91.19 ⇒ 9.12% decrease

if market interest rates decrease by 2%:

5% / 2 = 2.5% semiannual payments

6 years to maturity = 12 payments

present value = future value = 1000

PV of face value = 1,000 / (1 + 2.5%)¹² = $743.56PV of coupon payments = 35 x 10.25776 (PV annuity factor, 2.5%, 12 periods) = $359.02

new market price = $743.56 + $359.02 = $1,102.58

if interest decrease by 2%, present value (market value) will increase by $102.58 ⇒ 10.26% increase

Bond Dave

9% / 2 = 4.5% semiannual payments

19 years to maturity = 38 payments

present value = future value = 1000

PV of face value = 1,000 / (1 + 4.5%)³⁸ = $187.75PV of coupon payments = 35 x 18.04999 (PV annuity factor, 4.5%, 38 periods) = $631.75

new market price = $187.75 + $631.75 = $819.50

if interest increases by 2%, present value (market value) will decrease by $180.50 ⇒ 18.05% decrease

if market interest rates decrease by 2%:

5% / 2 = 2.5% semiannual payments

6 years to maturity = 12 payments

present value = future value = 1000

PV of face value = 1,000 / (1 + 2.5%)³⁸ = $391.28PV of coupon payments = 35 x 24.3486 (PV annuity factor, 2.5%, 38 periods) = $852.20

new market price = $391.28 + $852.20 = $1,243.48

if interest decrease by 2%, present value (market value) will increase by $243.48 ⇒ 24.35% increase
