A 1465-year maturity zero-coupon bond selling at a yield to


A 14.65-year maturity zero-coupon bond selling at a yield to maturity of 7% (effective annual yield) has convexity of 160.6 and modified duration of 13.41 years. A 40-year maturity 5% coupon bond making annual coupon payments also selling at a yield to maturity of 7% has nearly identical modified duration—-13.38 years—-but considerably higher convexity of 280.0. a. Suppose the yield to maturity on both bonds increases to 8%. What will be the actual percentage capital loss on each bond? What percentage capital loss would be predicted by the duration-with-convexity rule? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)
