问题如下:
Based on Exhibits 1 and 2, the effective duration for the AI bond is closest to:
选项:
A.1.98.
B.2.15.
C.2.73.
解释:
B is correct.
The AI bond’s value if interest rates shift down by 30 bps (PV–) is 100.78. The AI bond’s value if interest rates shift up by 30 bps (PV+) is 99.487.
Effective duration=[(PV-)-(PV+)]/[2× (ΔCurve) × (PV0)]= (100.780 - 99.487)/ (2 × 0.003 × 100.200)=2.15
[0.5*(100+100)+5.25]/1.071432=98.23
[0.5*(100+100)+5.25]/1.058737=99.41
[0.5*(100+100)+4.8342]/1.048342=100
[0.5*(98.23+99.41)+5.25]/1.053363=98.80
[0.5*(99.41+100)+4.3943]/1.043943=99.71
PV0=[0.5*(98.80+99.71)+3.8395]/1.038395=99.28
