Z(0,0.5) = [answer1] Z(0,1) = [answer2] Z(0,1.5) = [answer3] (b) Once you get the discount curve Z(0,T), you take another look at the data and find the following 1-year bonds Bond D: 1-year bond with 8.00% coupon priced at $100.75 Bond E: 1-year bond with 12.00% coupon priced at $106.54 Compute the fair values for these bonds with the discounts you found. Are the fair values the same as the market (traded) prices above? Bond D: [answer4] Bond E: [answer5] (c) Is there an arbitrage opportunity in part (b)? If there is an arbitrage opportunity, describe how you can take advantage of it. Assume that Bond A and B are correctly priced and you can buy and short any fraction of those bonds. (Step 1) You [answer6] [answer7]-units of Bond A (Step 2) You [answer8] [answer9]-units of Bond B (Step 3) You [answer10] 1-unit of Bond [answer11]

Portfolio Duration: [answer5] Convexity: [answer6] (c) How much would this investor lose (in million dollars) if interest rate goes up by 2%? Compute the change in value of portfolio stemming from duration plus convexity. answer: [answer7] millions (d) Due to a series of unfortunate events, the investor just found out that he must raise $500 million. The investor decides to short the 2-year zero coupon bonds to raise the $500 million. In other words, the investor would spend the same amount of money on all securities except for the 2-year zero coupon bonds.
