1. Compute the convexity of a stock that pays annual dividends, with the first dividend of 100 payable one year from now, and subsequent dividends grow at an annual rate of 7%. The effective annual interest rate is = 9%.

2.

You are given the following with respect to a five-year option-free bond:

i) Annual coupons of (2+t)%(2+t)% are paid at the end of year tt.

ii) Par value is 1,000.
