sir what is the correct definition duration: "weighted average time to recover the PV of a project" or " time to recover HALF of the PV of o project"
at different places different definition are mentioned. which one is right? and why?
Ask the Tutor ACCA AFM
duration
5y ago#1The Macaulay duration measures the average time it takes for a bond to pay its interest and principal.
The project duration is a measure of the average time over which a project delivers it’s value.
The arithmetic is the same for both.
