Suppose you want to figure out the relationship between duration and maturity, so you consider the following three T-Bonds. You compute a. The duration of a two-year Treasury bond with a 10 percent semiannual coupon selling at par b. The duration of a three-year Treasury bond with a 10 percent semiannual coupon selling at par c. The duration of a four-year Treasury bond with a 10 percent semiannual coupon selling at par
