Interest Rate Risk. Suppose interest rates increase from 8 percent to 9 percent. Which bond
will suffer the greater percentage decline in price: a 30-year bond paying annual coupons of 8
percent, or a 30-year zero coupon bond? Can you explain intuitively why the zero exhibits
greater interest rate risk even though it has the same maturity as the coupon bond?
