Answer:
b. −1.79 percent
Explanation:
You can solve this using a financial calculator. I'm using TI BA II plus ;
First, find Price of the bond if YTM = 5.5%. Since it is semi-annual, adjust the YTM and total duration;
N = 13*2 = 26
I/Y = 5.5%/2 = 2.75%
PMT = (6%/2)*1000 = 30
FV = 1,000
CPT PV = $1046.01
Next, find Price of the bond if YTM = 5.7%.
N = 13*2 = 26
I/Y = 5.7%/2 = 2.85%
PMT = (6%/2)*1000 = 30
FV = 1,000
CPT PV = $1027.28
Percentage change =[ (New price- Old price)/Old price] *100
= -1.79%
