Problem: The Garraty Company has two bond issues outstanding. Both bonds pay $100 annual interest plus $1,000 at maturity. Bond L has a maturity of 15 years, and Bond S a maturity of 1 year.

Q2. Why does the longer-term (15-year) bond fluctuate more when interest rates change than does the shorter-term bond (1-year)?
