Question 2 options:
How long it takes on average to get the bond payments back.
A measure interest rate risk as captured by the slope of the yield curve
The slope of the bond pricing function.
The second order derivative of the bond pricing fuction at certain level of the yield y
| A. | How long it takes on average to get the bond payments back. |
| B. | A measure interest rate risk as captured by the slope of the yield curve |
| C. | The slope of the bond pricing function. |
| D. | The second order derivative of the bond pricing fuction at certain level of the yield y |
Solution
For generic bond pricing function, Dollar duration is slope of the bond pricing function
Option B
