Question:

What is the effect on a bond’s duration of increasing the bond’s maturity? As in the previous example, use a numerical example and plot the answer. Note that as N → ∞, the bond becomes a consol (a bond that has no repayment of principal but an infinite stream of coupon payments). The duration of a consol is given by (1 + YTM ) / YTM . Show that your numerical answers converge to this formula.
