d. As maturity increases, duration increases but at a decreasing rate.
37. D = 8 years;
D = 10 years;
D = 12 years.

39. a.
time cash flow (1 + 0.10) t CF/(1 + 0.10) t PV of CF x t
1.0 800 0.9091 727.27 727.27
2.0 800 0.8264 661.16 1322.31
b. Duration on 10% coupon bond = 4.17 years
At –0.10%: Pb = 1,000(0.08) {[1 – (1/(1 + 0.079)30)]} + 1,000/(1 + 0.079)30 = $1,011.36
On a financial calculator: N = 30, I = 7.9, PMT = 80, FV = 1,000, => PV = $1,011.36
At –2.0%: Pb = 1,000(0.08) {[1 – (1/(1 + 0.06)30)]} + 1,000/(1 + 0.06)30 = $1,275.30
On a financial calculator: N = 30, I = 10, PMT = 80, FV = 1,000, => PV = $1,275.30
