This question is about bond duration. You’ll need to use
derivatives.
Remember your calculus: The chain rule tells you that the
derivative of
ln(P(YTM)), with respect to YTM, is P’(YTM)/P(YTM).
a. Consider a zero-coupon bond which pays off $F in T years. What
is
its duration when its yield to maturity (YTM) is zero? Show
your
work.
b. Now consider a T year bond which pays a coupon of $C each year.
(It
makes no final face payment.) What is its duration when its YTM
is
zero? Show your work. (Hint: (1 + 2 + 3 + … + T)/T is
(T+1)/2.)
c. Finally, consider a T year bond which pays a coupon of $C each
year
and a final face payment of $F in T years. What is its duration
when
its YTM is zero? How is its duration related to your answers in
parts
(a) and (b)? Show your work

1) Perform the following addition and subtraction operations. For subtraction, negate the subtrahend (the second value) and add. For each operation, show the interpretation as both unsigned and signed operations. Indicate whether an unsigned or signed overflow has occurred that invalidates the result under that interpretation. Use an eight bit byte for all operations and for the signed interpretation, use two’s complement representation. Spaces are used in the binary values only for readability
