    (a) 1.91 years

    (b). $987.96

    Explanation:

    According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-

    a).

    Year Cash flow PVF 11% PVF 11% discount time P. V. cashflow*time

    1 $100 0.901 $90.1 1 $90.1

    2 $1,100 0.812 $893.2 2 $1,786.4

    Total 983.3 $1,879.5

    Bond price = $983.3

    Bond duration = 1,879.5 : 983.3 = 1.91 year

    b).

    1st year cash flow = $1,000 * 10:100 = $100

    2nd year cash flow = $1000 + $100 = $1,100

    If interest rate are decreased by 0.3%

    11% - 0.3% = 10.7%

    PVF = cash flow : (1+rate)

    Year Cash flow ($) divide PVF 10.7% PVF 11% discount ($)

    1 100 : 1.107 (1+.107) 90.33

    2 1,100 : 1.225449 (1+.107) ^2 897.630

    Total 987.96

    Price of bond will be $987.96 at 10.7%.
