Answer:

Laurel bond % change = -6.6%

Hardy bond % change = -16.3%

Explanation:

current bond price $1,000

interest rate 7%

Laurel bond matures in 4 years, 8 semiannual payments

Hardy bonds matures in 15 years, 30 semiannual payments

if market interest increases to 9%

Laurel bond:

$1,000 / (1 + 4.5%)⁸ = $703.19

$35 x 6.59589 (annuity factor, 4.5%, 8 periods) = $230.86

market price = $934.05

% change = -6.6%

Hardy bond:

$1,000 / (1 + 4.5%)³⁰ = $267.00

$35 x 16.28889(annuity factor, 4.5%, 30 periods) = $570.11

market price = $837.11

% change = -16.3%
