    assume Par Value = 1000

    Price = 1000

    Coupon = 7%

    Coupon = Coupon rate * Par Value/2 = 7% * 1000/2 = 35

    For Sam Maturity = 6 years

    Price = summation Coupont / (1+YTM/2) 2t + Par Value / (1+YTM/2) 2t

    1000 = 35 / (1+YTM/2) 2t + 1000 / (1+YTM/2) 2t

    YTM = 7%

    For Dave Maturity = 19 years

    Price = Coupont / (1+YTM/2) 2t + Par Value / (1+YTM/2) 2t

    1000 = 35 / (1+YTM/2) 2t + 1000 / (1+YTM/2) 2t

    YTM = 7%

    If YTM increases by 2% so new YTM = 9%

    For Sam Maturity = 6 years

    Price = Coupont / (1+YTM/2) 2t + Par Value / (1+YTM/2) 2t

    Price = 35 / (1 + (9%/2) 2t + 1000 / (1+9%/2) 2t

    Price = 908.81

    Percentage change in price of Sam bond = 908.81 - 1000/1000 = - 9.12%

    For Dave Maturity = 19 years

    Price = Coupont / (1+YTM/2) 2t + Par Value / (1+YTM/2) 2t

    Price = 35 / (1+9%/2) 2t + 1000 / (1+9%/2) 2t

    Price = 819.50

    Percentage change in price of Dave bond = (819.50-1000) / 1000 = - 18.05%

    If YTM decreases by 2% so new YTM = 5%

    For Sam Maturity = 6 years

    Price = Coupont / (1+YTM/2) 2t + Par Value / (1+YTM/2) 2t

    Price = 35 / (1 + (5%/2) 2t + 1000 / (1+5%/2) 2t

    Price = 1102.58

    Percentage change in price of Sam bond = (1102.58 - 1000) / 1000 = 10.26%

    For Dave Maturity = 19 years

    Price = Coupont / (1+YTM/2) 2t + Par Value / (1+YTM/2) 2t

    Price = 35 / (1+5%/2) 2t + 1000 / (1+5%/2) 2t

    Price = 1243.49

    Percentage change in price of Dave bond = (1243.49-1000) / 1000 = 24.35%
