What is the percentage change in the price of these bonds

Reference no: EM13256361

Both Bond Bill and Bond Ted have 10.4 percent coupons, make semiannual payments, and are priced at par value. Bond Bill has 5 years to maturity, whereas Bond Ted has 22 years to maturity.

Requirement 1:
If interest rates suddenly rise by 3 percent, what is the percentage change in the price of these bonds? (Do not include the percent signs (%). Enter rounded answers as directed, but do not use the rounded numbers in intermediate calculations. Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your answers to 2 decimal places (e.g., 32.16).)

Requirement 2:
If rates were to suddenly fall by 3 percent instead, what would be the percentage change in the price of these bonds? (Do not include the percent signs (%). Enter rounded answers as directed, but do not use the rounded numbers in intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places (e.g., 32.16).)
