Answered by admin @



Answer: E

Explanation:

The longer the maturity of a bond, the more of an effect a change in interest rates will have on it. The reason for this is that the price change is compounded into the bond price for more longer time frame. Since NPV of all the future cash flows, both the coupon payments and the par value paid at maturity. Therefore, a zero coupon bond is most affected by interest rate changes. Therefore, the longest zero coupon bond is the correct answer, which is option E.
