                  K = N
Bond Price =? [(Annual Coupon)/(1 + YTM)^k]     +   Par value/(1 + YTM)^N
                   k=1
                  K =10
Bond Price =? [(0*1000/100)/(1 + 12/100)^k]     +   1000/(1 + 12/100)^10
                   k=1
Bond Price = 321.97
Total Portfolio value = Value of Cash + Value of 0 bond
=2000+321.97
=2321.97
Weight of Cash = Value of Cash/Total Portfolio Value
= 2000/2321.97
=0.8613
Weight of 0 bond = Value of 0 bond/Total Portfolio Value
= 321.97/2321.97
=0.1387
Duration of Portfolio = Weight of Cash*Duration of Cash+Weight of 0 bond*Duration of 0 bond
Duration of Portfolio = 0*0.8613+10*0.1387
Duration of Portfolio = 1.3866
