    John Smith and Jane Brody, assistant portfolio managers, are discussing two bond issues to acquire for their portfolio. Issue 1 has a lower coupon rate but shorter maturity than Issue 2, which both have the same credit rating. Smith argues Issue 1 has more interest rate risk due to its lower coupon, while Brody argues Issue 2's longer maturity gives it more interest rate risk. The senior portfolio manager asks how they can determine which issue actually has greater interest rate risk.
