What will be the actual percentage capital loss on each


A 13.40-year maturity zero-coupon bond selling at a yield to maturity of 8% (effective annual yield) has convexity of 165.4 and modified duration of 12.41 years. A 40-year maturity 6% coupon bond making annual coupon payments also selling at a yield to maturity of 8% has nearly identical modified duration—-12.30 years—-but considerably higher convexity of 272.9. a. Suppose the yield to maturity on both bonds increases to 9%. 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.)
