Question 1 What is the duration of a par value bond with a coupon rate of 8% and a remaining time to maturity of 5 years?
Solution:
CF $80 $80 $80 $80 $1,080
Time 1 2 3 4 5
PV of CF@08%
$80/1.08 = $74.07 $80/(1.08)2 = $68.59 $80/(1.08)3 = $63.51 $80/(1.08)4 = $58.80 $1,080/(1.08)5 = $735.03
Price=$1000.00
Time * PV of CF 74.07 * 1 = 74.07 68.59 * 2 = 137.18 63.51 * 3 = 190.53 58.80 * 4 = 235.20 735.03 * 5 = 3675.15

Duration = 4312.12 / 1000 = 4.312

Duration = 2.824 years, which is less than the duration at the YTM of 6%.
Question 3
You own a fixed-income asset with a duration of five years. If the level of interest rates, which is currently 8%, goes up by 10 basis points, how much do you expect the price of the asset to go down (in percentage terms)?
Solution:
DM = 5/(1.08) = 4.63
When interest rate goes up by 100 basis points, price goes down by 4.63%. When interest rates go up by 10 basis points, price goes down by 0.463%.
Question 4
Rank the following bonds in order of descending duration.
Bond A B C D E
Coupon 15% 15 0 8 15
Time to Maturity 20 years 15 20 20 15
Yield to Maturity 10% 10 10 10 15
Solution:
The ranking of bonds in descending order of Duration: C Higher the time to maturity higher the duration D Lower the coupon higher the duration A B Lower the YTM higher the Duration E
Question 5
You are managing a portfolio of $1 million. Your target duration is 10 years. You can choose from 2 bonds: a zero coupon bond with 5 years to maturity and a perpetuity each currently yielding 5%.
a) How much of each bond will you hold in the portfolio? b) How will these fractions change next year if the target duration is now 9 years?
2
Solution: a.The duration of the perpetuity is: 1.05/0.05 = 21 years
Call w the weight of the zero-coupon bond. Then: (w 5) + [(1 ? w) 21] = 10 w = 11/16 = 0.6875
Therefore, the portfolio weights would be as follows: 11/16 invested in the zero and 5/16 in the perpetuity.
b.
Next year, the zero-coupon bond will have a duration of 4 years and the
perpetuity will still have a 21-year duration. To obtain the target duration of nine years,
which is now the duration of the obligation, we again solve for w:
(w 4) + [(1 ? w) 21] = 9 w = 12/17 = 0.7059
So, the proportion of the portfolio invested in the zero increases to 12/17 and the proportion invested in the perpetuity falls to 5/17.
