Odd has assigned me to find price and modified duration of a perpetual bond that pays an amount of 1 dollar at the end of each year forever and has a yield to maturity of 0%
I have successfully derived a new pricing formula that resulted in determining the price of the consol bond and its modified duration
a) Finding the price of the bond [V] was akin to finding the result for 1/0 (Division by zero)
b) Finding the modified duration was akin to finding 1st order derivative of 1/i and dividing it by price of the consol bond = -[dV/di]*[1/V] = -[(-1)/(0)^2] / [1/0]
Anyone here has a different view than mine, please let me know
