About the Course

EXCEL’s built-in functionality allows for calculations of price and duration for non-callable fixed income bonds with payment frequencies of annual, semi-annual & quarterly. However, it does not cater for bonds with monthly frequency.

This course includes one EXCEL file that calculates the price & Macaulay, modified and effective durations for non-callable bonds having monthly coupon payment frequencies.

The worksheet is built from first principles and assumes an Actual/365 day count convention. It includes separate tabs for 10-, 20-, 30-, 40- and 50-year monthly coupon payment bonds, where prices and durations are derived.

The “Summary – Inputs & Results” tab allows the user to change formula variables, such as settlement date, issue date, coupon rate, yield rate, face value & interest rate shock for effective duration calculation, and view the price & durations results from the individual tabs.

The “Freq 1-2-4 – check1”, “5y - semiannual - check2” & “10y - semiannual - check3” tabs are quality assurance tabs, that allows the user to compare the results obtained from first principles and those generated using EXCEL’s price functionality for annual, semi-annual & quarterly coupon payment bonds of varying tenors and specifically for 5 year semiannual frequency & 10 year semiannual frequency bonds. These serve as checks for the first principles methodology applied in the other tabs to calculate values for monthly coupon payment bonds.
