Hi John,
Just a query on part c in this question and the calculation for Macaulay Duration. Why do we not include an annual interest payment of 2% in our calculations similar to other examples of maccaulay duration where interest charges are included? Is it because we are discounting at 2%?
Thanks,
Padraig
Yes, that is the reason.
Incidentally, you can find free lectures working through the whole of this question linked from the following page:
