Nested Select problem

I've become stuck on a nested SELECT statement.

The actual statement I'm working on is more complicated than the one below but I get the same error on this one too.

Can anyone tell me how to correct the code below please?

When I try to parse the SQL I error this error :
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 11
Incorrect syntax near ')'.

Here's the code:

SELECT
Duration
, A * B * C AS Life1
INTO #sp
FROM
(SELECT
Duration = Duration
, A = 1
, B = 2
, C = 3
FROM emt_Duration_Months)

By the way emt_Duration_Months is a table the counts 1, 2, 3 . . . 720.

Here's the code:

SELECT
t.Duration
, t.A * t.B * t.C AS Life1
INTO #sp
FROM
(SELECT
Duration = Duration
, A = 1
, B = 2
, C = 3
FROM emt_Duration_Months)t

Try with an alias. I still cant understand the purpose of derived table though.

Try this - as strange as it might sound
SELECT
Duration
, A * B * C AS Life1
INTO #sp
FROM
(SELECT
Duration = Duration
, A = 1
, B = 2
, C = 3
FROM emt_Duration_Months
Group By Duration)
