  1. 1Input bond coupon, yield, maturity
  2. 2Calculate Macaulay duration (time-weighted)
  3. 3Derive modified duration (price sensitivity)

ସମାଧାନ ହୋଇଥିବା ଉଦାହରଣ

ଇନପୁଟ୍
5% coupon, 10-year bond, 5% yield
ଫଳ
Macaulay ≈ 8.2 years, modified ≈ 7.8 years
Modified used for price changes

ଏଡ଼ାଇବା ଯୋଗ୍ୟ ସାଧାରଣ ଭୁଲ

  • Confusing Macaulay and modified duration
  • Forgetting duration changes with yield

Why duration < maturity?

Earlier cash flows (coupons) weighted in average.
