The Concept of a Yield to Maturity
So far we have valued bonds by using a given interest rate,
then discounted all payments to the bond.
Prices are usually given from trade prices
need to infer interest rate that has been used
Definition: The yield to maturity is that interest rate that
equates the present discounted value of all future payments
to bondholders to the market price:

Consider a U.S. Treasury bond that has a coupon rate of 10%, a face value of
$1,000 and matures exactly 10 years from now.
Market price of $1,500, implies a yield of 3.91% (semi-annual
compounding); for B=$1,000 we obviously find R=10%.
27
Interest Rate Sensitivity:
Coupon Bonds
Coupon bonds can be represented as portfolios of zero-
coupon bonds
Implication for price sensitivity
Consider purchasing the US Treasury bond discussed
earlier (10 year, 9% coupon, $1,000 face)
Suppose immediately thereafter interest rates fall to 8%,
compounded semiannually.
Suppose immediately thereafter interest rate rises to 12%
compounded semiannually.
Suppose the interest rate equals 9%, compounded semiannually.
What are the pricing implications of these scenarios?
28
Recall the general formula:
What is the price of the bond if the APR is 8% compounded
semiannually?
Similarly:
If R=12%: B=$ 827.95
If R= 9%: B=$1,000.00

Relationship Between Coupon Bond
Prices and Interest Rates
Bond prices are inversely related to interest rates (or
yields).
A bond sells at par only if its interest rate equals the
coupon rate
A bond sells at a premium if its coupon rate is above the
interest rate.
A bond sells at a discount if its coupon rate is below the
interest rate.

DV01 and Coupon Bonds
Consider two bonds with 10% annual coupons with maturities of 5
years and 10 years.
The APR is 8%
What are the responses to a .01% (1bp) interest rate change?
Does the sensitivity of a coupon bond always increase with the term to
maturity?

Bond Prices and Interest Rates
Longer term bonds are more sensitive to
changes in interest rates than shorter term bonds, in general.

Consider the following two bonds:
Both have a maturity of 5 years
Both have yield of 8%
First has 6% coupon, other has 10% coupon, compounded
annually.
Then, what are the price sensitivities of these bonds, measured by
DV01 as for zero coupon bonds?
Why do we get different answers for two bonds with the same yield
and same maturity?

Maturity and Price Risk
Zero coupon bonds have well-defined relationship
between maturity and interest rate sensitivity:
Coupon bonds can have different sensitivities for
the same maturity
DV01 now depends on maturity and coupon
Need concept of average maturity of coupon
bond:
Duration
34
Duration
Duration is a weighted average term to maturity where the
weights are relative size of the contemporaneous cash flow.
Duration is a unitless number that quantifies the percentage
change in a bonds price for a 1 percentage change in the
interest rate.

Duration (cont.)
The duration of a bond is less than its time to maturity (except for
zero coupon bonds).
The duration of the bond decreases the greater the coupon rate.
This is because more weight (present value weight) is being given
to the coupon payments.
As market interest rate increases, the duration of the bond
decreases. This is a direct result of discounting. Discounting at a
higher rate means lower weight on payments in the far future.
Hence, the weighting of the cash flows will be more heavily
placed on the early cash flows -- decreasing the duration.
Modified Duration = Duration / (1+yield)

Bonds can be valued by discounting their future cash
flows
Bond prices change inversely with yield
Price response of bond to interest rates depends on term
to maturity.
