Finance

An investor has two bonds in his portfolio that have a face value of $1,000 and pay a 10% annual coupon. Bond L matures in 17 years, while Bond S matures in 1 year. a- What will the value of the Bond L be if the going interest rate is 6%, 7%, and 11%? Assume that only one more interest payment is to be made on Bond S at its maturity and that 17 more payments are to be made on Bond L. Round your answers to the nearest cent.

6% 7% 11% Bond L $ $ $ Bond S $ $ $

b- Why does the longer-term bonds price vary more than the price of the shorter-term bond when interest rates change? Long-term bonds have lower interest rate risk than do short-term bonds. Long-term bonds have lower reinvestment rate risk than do short-term bonds. The change in price due to a change in the required rate of return increases as a bond's maturity decreases. Long-term bonds have greater interest rate risk than do short-term bonds. The change in price due to a change in the required rate of return decreases as a bond's maturity increases. -Select-
