The duration of a ten-year, 10 percent coupon bond when the interest rate is 10 percent is 6.76 years. what happens to the price of the bond if the interest rate falls to 8 percent?

%DP=12.3% increment

Explanation:

The duration of a ten-year, 10 percent coupon bond when the interest rate is 10 percent is 6.76 years. What happens to the price of the bond if the interest rate falls to 8 percent?

We go by the formula.

As the calculation in tables(on the internet), the duration of a ten-year 10% coupon  bond is 6.76 years.

......................................................................1

duration=6.76

di=change in interest=0.08-0.1

i=initial interest rate, 10%

Juxtaposing the parameters into the given equation

-6.76*(-0.18)/1.1

%DP=12.29

%DP=12.3% in approximation

pie chart because it is in percents ( % )

the earth would become to overheated and everything alive on it will eventually die from overheating. plants will eventually die as well, water will evaporate, and it will be nothing but a hot planet without anything living on it.
