How would you convert modified duration to


A bond currently sells for $975, which gives it a yield to maturity of 6%. Suppose that if the yield increases by .25%, the price of the bond falls to $952. What is the duration of this bond?  Round your answer to three decimal places. (Hint: the percentage price change is a function of duration and change in yield)

(New Price-Price)/Price)=modified duration * change in yield in BP/100

(952-975)/975 = modified duration * .0025

Modified Duration= 9.4359
