【Answer to question 1】B
【analysis】
B is correct. A security with 19 semiannual payments of $3 interest and a 20th payment of $103 (interest plus return of face value) with a semiannual discount rate of 3.5% is computed as:
A is incorrect because it is equal to $106/1.07.
C is incorrect because it reverses the coupon rate and the discount rate.
【Answer to question 2】C
【analysis】
C is correct. A fall in interest rates will result in a higher percentage rise in the bond’s price compared with the percentage fall in the bond’s price when interest rates rise by the same amount.
A is incorrect because the coupon effect relates to the sensitivity of bond price changes to changes in the coupon rate.
B is incorrect because the maturity effect relates to the sensitivity of bond price changes to the time to maturity.
