Actual exam question for GARP's 2016-FRR exam Question #: 367 Topic #: 3
An asset manager just bought a coupon paying bond with principal value $100,000 for $87,000 with a current yield of 4.7%. He assumes that if the yields change to 5.7% the price of the bond would be $84,500. Based on this assumption what is the modified duration of the bond?
The modified duration of a bond can be estimated using the following formula: Modified Duration=/Modified Duration=yP/P where P is the change in the bond's price, P is the initial price, and y is the change in yield. Given: * Initial price (P) = $87,000 * New price after yield change (P') = $84,500 * Change in price (P) = $87,000 - $84,500 = $2,500 * Change in yield (y) = 5.7% - 4.7% = 1% = 0.01 Modified Duration = 2,500/87,0000.01=0.0287350.01=2.87352.880.012,500/87,000=0.010.028735=2.87352.88
