解释:
The value of the bond is 97.245937. When there is five-basis-point increase in all rates so that the term structure is flat at 5.05%, the value falls by 0.135287 to 97.110650. When there is a five-basis-point decrease in all rates so that the term structure is flat at 4.95%, the value rises by 0.135514 to 97.381452. The duration is
0.5×(0.135287+0.135514)/(97.245937×0.0005)=2.784703
The convexity is
(97.110650+ 97.381452-2×97.245937)/(97.245937× 0.00052)=9.35
Note that even more decimal places than those indicated is necessary to provide
this estimate of convexity.
