An investor bought a bond at ₱8,000 and the bond yields 12%. Using a 10 basis point change in yield, it is calculated that the decrease in yield results to a bond price of ₱8,400 while an increase the decrease in yield results to a bond price of ₱7,800. The effective duration would be closest to: a. 12.50 b. 25.00 c. 38.46 d. 37.50 e. 35.71
