How to prove that$D<0.5 T;$?

$begingroup$


We have the formula of obligation duration:



$$D = frac{C}{P} (1- frac{1+Tr}{(1+r)^{T}}) frac {1+r}{r^2} + frac {C+N}{P} frac{T}{(1+r)^2},$$



Here:



$rin(0,1)$,



$Tin mathbb N$ (number of time periods),



$Nin mathbb N$ (obligation nominal value),



$P in mathbb N$ (obligation price), $C=cN, cin(0,1).$



Check if $D<dfrac{T}{2}.$

          Your assumption is false.



          Counterexample: Define the following numbers
          $$r = frac{1}{2}, $$
          $$T = 1, $$
          $$N = 1, $$
          $$P = 1, $$
          $$C = frac{1}{2}cdot 1 = frac{1}{2}. $$



          Then
          begin{align*}D &= frac{C}{P} left(1- frac{1+Tr}{(1+r)^{T}}right) frac {1+r}{r^2} + frac {C+N}{P} frac{T}{(1+r)^2}\
          &= frac{1}{2}left(1 - frac{1 + 1/2}{1 + 1/2}right)cdot frac{1+ 1/2}{1/4} + frac{1/2 + 1}{1}cdot frac{1}{(1+ 1/2)^2}\
          &=frac{1}{1+1/2} = frac{2}{3}.
          end{align*}



          Once $$D = frac{2}{3}> frac{1}{2} = frac{T}{2},$$ we concluded that $$D< frac{T}{2}$$ is, in general, false.
