Answer from: addisonrausch

if interest rates fall by 2%

price of bond j will increase to $756.83, price change = $756.83 - $663.28 = $93.55 or 14.1%

price of bond k will increase to $1,317.99, price change = $1,317.99 - $1,224.47 = $93.52 or 7.64%

Explanation:

bond j coupon rate 3%, 13 years to maturity, semiannual payments, YTM 6%

bond k coupon rate 9%, 13 years to maturity, semiannual payments, YTM 6%

current market price of bond j:

YTM = {coupon + [(face value - market value)/n]} / [(face value + market value)/2]

0.03 = {15 + [(1,000 - market value)/26]} / [(1,000 + market value)/2]

0.015(1,000 + market value) = 15 + [(1,000 - market value)/26]

15 + 0.015market value = 15 + 35.46 - 0.038market value

0.05346market value = 35.46

market value = 35.46 / 0.05346 = $663.28

current market price of bond k:

YTM = {coupon + [(face value - market value)/n]} / [(face value + market value)/2]

0.03 = {45 + [(1,000 - market value)/26]} / [(1,000 + market value)/2]

0.015(1,000 + market value) = 45 + [(1,000 - market value)/26]

15 + 0.015market value = 15 + 65.46 - 0.038market value

0.05346market value = 65.46

market value = 65.46 / 0.05346 = $1,224.47

if YTM decrease by 2%, then:

new market price of bond j:

0.02 = {15 + [(1,000 - market value)/26]} / [(1,000 + market value)/2]

0.01(1,000 + market value) = 15 + [(1,000 - market value)/26]

10 + 0.01market value = 15 + 35.46 - 0.038market value

0.05346market value = 40.46

market value = 40.46 / 0.05346 = $756.83

new market price of bond k:

YTM = {coupon + [(face value - market value)/n]} / [(face value + market value)/2]

0.02 = {45 + [(1,000 - market value)/26]} / [(1,000 + market value)/2]

0.01(1,000 + market value) = 45 + [(1,000 - market value)/26]

10 + 0.01market value = 15 + 65.46 - 0.038market value

0.05346market value = 70.46

market value = 70.46 / 0.05346 = $1,317.99

Steele bicycle manufacturing company currently produces the handlebars used in manufacturing its bicycles, which are high-quality racing bikes with limited sales. steele produces and sells only 10,000 bikes each year. due to the low volume of activity, steele is unable to obtain the economies of scale that larger producers achieve. for example, steele could buy the handlebars for $31 each: they cost $34 each to make. the following is a detailed breakdown of current production costs: after seeing these figures, steele's president remarked that it would be foolish for the company to continue to produce the handlebars at $34 each when it can buy them for $31 each. calculate the total relevant cost. do you agree with the president's conclusion?
