Answer:
As a result of an increase in the YTM, the price of the bond will fall $4677.19 from to $4593.67
Explanation:
The bonds are valued or priced based on the present value of annuity of interest payments and the present value of the principal. Based on the YTM of 7.8% the bonds are priced at,
coupon payment = 5000 * 0.067 *1/2 = $167.5
Semiannual YTM = 7.8 *0.5 = 3.9%
Semi annual periods to maturity = 8 * 2 = 16 periods
Old Price = 167.5 * [( 1 - (1 + 0.039)^-16 + 5000 / (1+0.039)^16
Old Price = $4677.19
New semiannual YTM = 8.1% / 2 = 4.05%
New Price = 167.5 * [( 1 - (1+0.0405)^-16) / 0.0405] + 5000 / 1.0405^16
New Price = $4593.67
