Check the following explanation

Explanation:

Assume face value of both bond be $ 1,000

A)price of a 3 year bond = ([email protected]%,3 * interest ) +([email protected]%,3 * Face value)

=(2.48685 * 50 ) +(.75131 * 1000)

= 124.34 + 751.31

= $ 875.65

B)Price of a 10 year bond = ([email protected]%,10 *interest) +([email protected]%,10 * Face value)

=(6.14457 *50) + (.38554 *1000)

= 307.23 + 385.54

= $ 692.77

c)Long term bonds are more sensitive to short term bonds .This is so because longer the duration ,higher is the risk .so when interest rate changes ,longer duration prices will fall morethan by short term bonds.

Answer from: cedricevans41p4j3kx

a. $875.66

b. $692.77

c. Long-term bonds are more sensitive to a change in interest rate in comparison to short-term bond.

Explanation:

The new price will be equal to the present value of 03 annual coupon payments of $50 each ( 1,000 *5%) plus the present value of principal repayment of $1,000 in three year time; discounted at 10% which is calculated as:

( 50/0.1) * [ 1-1.1^(-3) ] + 1,000/1.1^3 = $875.66

The new price will be equal to the present value of 10 annual coupon payments of $50 each ( 1,000 *5%) plus the present value of principal repayment of $1,000 in teen year time; discounted at 10% which is calculated as:

( 50/0.1) * [ 1-1.1^(-10) ] + 1,000/1.1^10 = $692.77

As short-term bond's decrease its price less than long-term bond does, it can be concluded that Long-term bonds are more sensitive to a change in interest rate in comparison to short-term bond.

Cis te correct i think i c idk but i think it is c

Answer from: Quest

u = 30

continuing your method

$\frac{1}{10}$ = $\frac{1}{u}$ + $\frac{1}{15}$

subtract $\frac{1}{15}$ from both sides

$\frac{1}{u}$ = $\frac{1}{10}$ - $\frac{1}{15}$ thus

$\frac{1}{u}$ = $\frac{3}{30}$ - $\frac{2}{30}$

$\frac{1}{u}$ = $\frac{1}{30}$ ⇒ u = 30
