Value the 5% bond using the Baa yield you found

From the prior exercise, you found that the yield on comparable bonds is 4.29%.

Now that you know the yield, you can use this information to find the value of a Baa-rated bond on September 30, 2016 with a $100 par value, 5% coupon rate, and 5 years to maturity.

In this exercise, you will use the bondprc function you created in Chapter 1 to value the bond. The object you created in the previous exercise (baa_yield) is available in your workspace.

Use bondprc() to value your bond. Recall from Chapter One that the bondprc() function you created takes four arguments: the par value (p), the coupon rate (r), the time to maturity (ttm), and the yield of the bond (y).

The fixed income market is large and filled with complex instruments. In this course, we focus on plain vanilla bonds to build solid fundamentals you will need to tackle more complex fixed income instruments. In this chapter, we demonstrate the mechanics of valuing bonds by focusing on an annual coupon, fixed rate, fixed maturity, and option-free bond.

Estimating Yield To Maturity - The YTM measures the expected return to bond investors if they hold the bond until maturity. This number summarizes the compensation investors demand for the risk they are bearing by investing in a particular bond. We will discuss how one can estimate YTM of a bond.

Interest rate risk is the biggest risk that bond investors face. When interest rates rise, bond prices fall. Because of this, much attention is paid to how sensitive a particular bond's price is to changes in interest rates. In this chapter, we start the discussion with a simple measure of bond price volatility - the Price Value of a Basis Point. Then, we discuss duration and convexity, which are two common measures that are used to manage interest rate risk.

We will put all of the techniques that the student has learned from Chapters One through Three into one comprehensive example. The student will be asked to value a bond by using the yield on a comparable bond and estimate the bond's duration and convexity.
