Problem 5-17 Interest Rate Risk Laurel, Inc., and Hardy Corp. both have 7 percent coupon bonds outstanding, with semiannual interest payments, and both are currently priced at the par value of $1,000. The Laurel, Inc., bond has five years to maturity, whereas the Hardy Corp. bond has 20 years to maturity.

If interest rates suddenly rise by 2 percent, what is the percentage change in the price of each bond? (Do not round intermediate calculations. A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Enter your answers as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e. g., 32.16.)

Percentage change in price of Laurel, Inc., bond %
Percentage change in price of Hardy Corp. bond %

Prove (a) cosh2(x) − sinh2(x) = 1 and (b) 1 − tanh 2(x) = sech 2(x). solution (a) cosh2(x) − sinh2(x) = ex + e−x 2 2 − 2 = e2x + 2 + e−2x 4 − = 4 = . (b) we start with the identity proved in part (a): cosh2(x) − sinh2(x) = 1. if we divide both sides by cosh2(x), we get 1 − sinh2(x) cosh2(x) = 1 or 1 − tanh 2(x) = .
