Respuesta :

The amount that the price of the bond will change is closest to $30 if its yield to maturity increases from 5% to 7% for a bond with a face value of $100 that pays annually an 8% coupon with 20 years to maturity.

Using, Bond Price = C*  (1-(1+r)-n/r ) + F/(1+r)n

where C = Periodic coupon payment,

F = Face / Par value of bond,

r = Yield to maturity (YTM) and

n = No. of periods till maturity

$110 = price of the bond at 7% { 8*(1-(1+7)-20/7 ) + 100/(1+7)20}

$140 = price of the bond at 5%  { 8*(1-(1+5)-20/5 ) + 100/(1+5)20}

$140 - $110= $30

The amount that the price of the bond will change is closest to $30.
