It's fine that you posted the working part; in general, for posting you
should simplify the thing that do work to the bare bones (see example below)

The most elegant approach uses package plyr; you even get the function
parameters in your output.
library(plyr)
# simplified version of your original function
duration = function(par_value, coupon_rate)
{
data.frame(macaulay_duration=2*par_value,modified_duration=3*coupon_rate)
}
# use read.table in your application instead of the line below
pars = data.frame(par_value=c(1000,100), coupon_rate=c(10,7))
mdply(pars,.fun=duration)
# par_value coupon_rate macaulay_duration modified_duration
#1 1000 10 2000 30
#2
