Computation of value of the bond
A zero-coupon bond with 2.5 years to maturity has a YTM = 25%. A 3-year annual-coupon bond has a face value of $1,000 and a 25% coupon rate. The coupon bond also has a YTM = 25%. Does the longer maturity bond have a larger interest rate sensitivity? Why or why not? Calculate for each bond the percentage price change associated with a change of yield to maturity from 25% to 26%.
