Predicted vs. actual prices II
Plotting the predicted prices of bonds for different levels of yields using duration, then comparing these predicted prices to the actual prices of the bond is a great way of visualizing the accuracy of duration.
In the previous exercise, you found the duration of the bond, and created a DataFrame with the actual bond prices at each level of yield. In this exercise, you will add columns to this DataFrame containing the predicted bond prices using duration, then plot the difference between the predicted price and the actual price.
numpy, numpy_financial, pandas, and matplotlib have already been imported for you as np, npf, pd, and plt, respectively, as well as the code from the previous exercise.

Instructions
- Add the column
yield_changewith the current yield minus original yield. - Add the column
price_changewith the predicted bond price change using dollar duration. - Add the column
predicted_pricecombining the original bond price with the price change. - Add a plot of bond yields against actual prices and against predicted prices on the same axes, and show the plot.

# Add a column called yield_change with the current yield minus original yield
bond['yield_change'] = (bond['bond_yield'] - ____)
# Find the predicted bond price change using dollar duration then find predicted price
bond['price_change'] = -100 * ____ * bond['yield_change'] / 100
bond['predicted_price'] = ____ + bond['price_change']
# Plot bond yields against predicted and actual prices, add labels, legend, and display
plt.plot(bond['bond_yield'], bond['price'])
