Answer:

9.52 years

Explanation:

Calculation for the modified duration of this bond

First step is to calculate the Percentage decrease in Price of Bond

Percentage decrease in Price of Bond =($1,025-$1,050)/$1,050

Percentage decrease in Price of Bond=-2.3810%

Second step is to calculate the Percentage change in price

Using this formula

Percentage change in price =-Modified Duration*Change in YTM

Let plug in the formula

-2.3810% =-Modified Duration*0.25%

Modified Duration =2.3810%/0.25%

Modified Duration =9.52 years

Therefore the modified duration of this bond is 9.52 years

This means that if the last day of the accounting period is December 31st, the interest for year 1 would have to be accrued from September to December of year 1 and recorded as year 1 interest.
