Five implicit functions from the Annuity Equation: duration version #
The BA II Plus calculator values PMT, I/Y, N, FV, PV can each be computed from the other four. Here we replace PV by D (duration) for a speculative future calculator.
Main results:
eq_CPT_I_of_D: ifD>1,n ≥ 2, andr>0then we can uniquely compute the yield ratei > -1from the duration equation.eq_CPT_N_of_D: ifi,d,r>0andd<1+1/ithen we can uniquely computenfrom the duration equation.
-- * If d>1, n≥2, r>0, i>0 and d<1+1/i then i and n are both computed from -- the others.
The Macaulay duration does indeed satisfy the duration equation.
An at-par bond with unit (1) redemption value has price 1 as well, no matter what the maturity and interest rates are.
Determine the maturity from the duration for an at-par bond.
Present value of an increasing annuity with interest rate 0.
A pleasant formula for the Macaulay duration of a zero-yield bond
in terms of the coupon rate r and maturity n.
Note that when r=0 it reduces to d=n.
For a bond with maturity n=2, explicitly find the yield rate i from the Macaulay duration d
and the coupon rate r. For larger n it is not generally uniquely solvable.
n=3 might be an interesting quadratic equation.
Note that if i=r, (d-1)r = 2-d, i.e., i = (2-d)/(d-1).
This version does not assume r<i or r>i.
