1 Math 373 Spring 015 Test 3 April 7, The stock for Mao Manufacturing LTD pays quarterly dividends. The next dividend will be.10 and will be paid in two months. Each dividend will be 0.30 greater than the prior dividend. In other words, the first dividend in two months will be.10. The second dividend at the end of five months will be.40. The third dividend at the end of 8 months will be.70. This pattern will continue forever. Find the price of Mao stock using the dividend discount method and an interest rate of 9% compounded quarterly. Since the first dividend is paid in two months, the dividend discount method would put the present value at time -1 month. We will have to accumulate the present value by 1 month to set it at time 0.

The Macaulay Duration of the portfolio is 6. iii. The Macaulay Convexity of the portfolio is 3. Using both the Duration and the Convexity of the portfolio, Wang wants to estimate the price of the portfolio of bonds if the interest rate changed to 6%. Determine the estimated price at 6%.

At an interest rate of 6%, Matt s bond has a price of 7,000 with a Macaulay Duration of 16. Kinney Investment Bank also owns a zero coupon bond which matures for 100,000 at the end of three years. Kinney wants to spend 180,000 to purchase another bond. After this purchase, Kinney wants the duration of the two assets in its portfolio to equal the duration of the portfolio of liabilities if all calculations are done using an annual interest rate of 6%. If Kinney is to accomplish this objective, determine the Macaulay Duration of the bond that Kinney must purchase.

9 9. The Rotter Company has promised to pay its president, Thomas, a bonus of 1,000,000 at the end of 10 years. Rotter wants to protect itself from interest rate changes using Reddington Immunization. It will do so by buying the following two bonds: i. Bond A is a zero coupon bond which matures for 10,000 at the end of 4 years. ii. Bond B is a zero coupon bond which matures for 15,000 at the end of 15 years. The current interest rate is 8.5%.
