Is it possible to show duration of each event in Apple Calendar?
Example:
I inserted this text written in red. But I'm looking for a functionality where you can see the duration of the event.

Yes. When you create (or Edit) an event, you can click on the Start time, enter it, and then click on the End time, and enter that as well. You can also make the event All-Day. These options are in the same window used to create the event.
To start the process, just double-click or right-click on the day of the event. Your options will immediately be apparent. You Title/Name the event,, enter the location now, later, or never. If the window closes before you finish, double-click the event to edit for the times, notes etc. Right-click will get you the same options. Get Info on the event will also work for editing.
No, the colors are linked to the calendar, and in iCal a calendar can only have one color. All events for this calendar will be in the same color.
Alternatively, you could create a seperate calendar for shared events with a different color, and save the event there, or you can share each other's calendar so your wife's calendar appears in your calendar list with a different color.
As far as I know (and I'm purposefully not citing anything here, because I have found absolutely nothing on the topic after much Googling, other searching, etc.), as of El Capitan there is no way to achieve this.
My rather simple workaround is to type out my event, such as
Dinner with Will on Wednesday at 7 PM
And then to quickly tab to the location field in the event inspector, and fill in the event's location there there, e.g.:
Happy to update this answer as a more fulfilling solution presents itself.
