Answer #1

Price of the Bond on Current market yield of 5.5%

= Intt * PVAF(5.5%,12years) + Maturity Value * PVF(5.5%,12years)

= 50 * 8.619 + 1000 * 0.526

= 957 (approax.)

Price of bond on new Market yield i.e 6%

= 50 * 8.384 + 1000 * 0.497

= 916 (Approax.)

% Change in Bond Price

= (New - Old)/Old*100 = (916-957)/957*100 = -41/957*100 = -4.28% (Approax.)

Dear

Your answer seems to be correct, the difference of 0.02% is basically due to how many decimals you have taken , in my case i took 3 decimals on Discounting Factors.
