Sample Questions

Question 1 Easy
What is the Macaulay duration of a 5-year zero-coupon bond?
Solution
D is correct. Macaulay duration is the weighted average time to cash flows, where the weights are the present values of each cash flow as a fraction of price. A zero-coupon bond has a single cash flow at maturity, so 100% of the weight sits at year 5. Macaulay duration therefore equals the maturity: 5.00 years.
Question 2 Medium
A bond is described as a Eurobond. Which characteristic most accurately distinguishes a Eurobond from a domestic bond?
Solution
C is correct.

A Eurobond is a bond issued and sold outside the home country of the currency in which it is denominated. For example, a USD-denominated bond issued and sold outside the United States is a Eurobond (or Eurodollar bond). Eurobonds are typically issued in bearer form and are subject to less regulatory oversight than domestic bonds.
Question 3 Hard
A bond currently trades at par ($100), with a modified duration of 6.5 and convexity of 80. Yields are expected to fall by 75 basis points. Using the duration-plus-convexity approximation, estimate the new bond price.
Solution
A is correct. The second-order Taylor expansion of bond price with respect to yield is ΔPP≈−Dmod⋅Δy+12⋅C⋅(Δy)2.\frac{\Delta P}{P} \approx -D_{\text{mod}} \cdot \Delta y + \tfrac{1}{2} \cdot C \cdot (\Delta y)^2. With Δy=−0.0075\Delta y = -0.0075, Dmod=6.5D_{\text{mod}} = 6.5, and C=80C = 80: ΔPP≈−6.5⋅(−0.0075)+0.5⋅80⋅(0.0075)2=0.04875+0.00225=0.05100.\frac{\Delta P}{P} \approx -6.5 \cdot (-0.0075) + 0.5 \cdot 80 \cdot (0.0075)^2 = 0.04875 + 0.00225 = 0.05100. The convexity term adds 0.225% on top of the 4.875% duration estimate. Applying this to the par price: Pnew≈100⋅(1+0.0510)=$105.10.P_{\text{new}} \approx 100 \cdot (1 + 0.0510) = \$105.10.
