解析Increasing the yield will lower the DV01. Since Bond 5 has a higher yield than Bond 1, it must have a lower DV01. Choice B is incorrect. The Macaulay duration of a zero-coupon bond will be equal to its maturity Choices A and C are incorrect. All else equal, a semiannual-pay bond will have a shorter duration than an annual-pay bond, so Bond 2 has a shorter duration than Bond 1. A premium bond will have a shorter duration than a discount bond, so Bond 2 will have a shorter duration than Bond 4.
