Business Finance Homework Help

Examine some important theories and concepts associated with interest
rates. Safe investments usually have fixed interest rates. You have
been asked to assemble this presentation for a weekly staff meeting, so
your audience will be senior managers and a couple of vice presidents.
Note their interest in this topic is very high so you need to be very
succinct and clearly explain the risks and rewards of building a
successful portfolio. In reference to term structure, interest rate
risks, and duration supported by numerical illustration where
applicable, in a PowerPoint presentation, evaluate the following:

1. The
   pricing of bonds, the calculation of the bond yield, and how bond
   prices adjust across time for premium, par, and discount bonds.
2. An
   evaluation of the yield curve and the theories to explain the shape.
   Discuss how these theories can be helpful in bond investing.
3. The interest rate risk for bond investments. Form a graphical presentation of the concepts.
4. The
   concept of duration and how it is useful in the context of bond
   portfolio analysis. You want to clearly discuss both the price risk
   measurement value for duration as well as how duration can measure the
   dynamics of price and re-investment rate risk across time for a bond
   portfolio.

It is critical that with each discussion above
that examples are formed to illustrate the concept. Whenever possible,
you want to demonstrate concepts using graphical approaches.
