Duration would NOT be an appropriate measure for: A Treasury bonds B Corporate bonds C Corporate common stock D Corporate preferred stock

Duration would not be an appropriate measure for corporate common stock.

Option: (C)

Explanation:

By considering duration as a measure, only the anticipated price movement of fixed income security for a given change in given market interest rate levels could be determined.
