Find the convexity of a 7-year maturity, 6% coupon bond selling at a yield to maturity of 8%. The bond pays its coupons annually. (Hint: You can use the spreadsheet from this chapter’s Excel Application on Convexity, setting cash flows after year 7 equal to zero.

The spreadsheet is available at www.mhhe.com/bkm; link to Chapter 11 material.)
