Salim purchased 8%, 3 years bond of Rs. 10 lac, with annual interest payment and face value payable on maturity. The YTM is assumed@ 6%. Calculate % change in the price of the bond when the decrease in YTM is 100 basis points from 6% to 5% and the duration is 2.79 years and modified duration is 2.63 years.
a. 2.36
b. 2.63
c. 3.26
d. 3.62
Ans - b
Explanation :
Percentage change in price of bond
= -MD × Change in Price
= -2.63 × (6% - 5%)
= 2.63%,
That means a fall in YTM by 1% increases the price of the bond by 2.63%.

A bond has been issued with a face value of Rs. 1000 at 8% Coupon for 3 years. The required rate of return is 7%. What is the value of the bond?
a. 1062.25
b. 1625.25
c. 1026.25
d. 1052.25
Ans – c
Explanation :
Here,
FV = 1000
Coupon Rate (CR) = 0.08
t = 3 yr
R (YTM) = 0.07
Coupon = FV × CR = 80
Bond Price = (1/(1+R)^t)((coupon*((1+R)^t-1)/R)+Face Value)
So, Value of bond = 1026.25
(Since Coupon rate > YTM, so Bond’s Value > FV)

Ram purchased two bonds bond-1 & bond-2 with face value of Rs. 1000 each and Coupon of 8% and maturity of 4 years & 6 years respectively. If YTM is increased by 1%, the % change in prices of bond-1 & bond-2 would be ......
a. 2.39 & 4.84
b. 3.29 & 4.84
c. 3.29 & 4.48
d. 2.39 & 4.48
Ans - c
Explanation :
Bond Price = (1/(1+R)^t)((coupon*((1+R)^t-1)/R)+Face Value)
Bond 1:
If YTM is 9%, then bond’s price
= [80 × (1.09^4 – 1) ÷ 0.09 + 1000] ÷ 1.09^4
= 967.64
Bond 2:
If YTM is 9%, then bond’s price
= [80 × (1.09^6 – 1) ÷ 0.09 + 1000] ÷ 1.09^6
= 955.14
So, % change in price of bond 1
= (1000 – 967.04) ÷ 1000
= 0.03296
= 3.29%
& % change in price of bond 2
= (1000 – 955.14) ÷ 1000
= 0.04486
= 4.48%
