问题如下:
A bond offers an annual coupon rate of 5%, with interest paid semiannually. The bond matures in seven years. At a market discount rate of 3%, the price of this bond per 100 of par value is closest to:
选项:
A.106.60.
B.112.54.
C.143.90.
解释:
B is correct.
The bond price is closest to 112.54.The formula for calculating this bond price is:
PV = 2.46 + 2.43 + 2.39 + … + 2.06 + 83.21 = 112.54
考点:bond valuation
解析:债券半年付息一次,每一期的coupon为100×5%/2=2.5,通过未来现金流折现求和,可得债券价格为112.54。
也可利用计算器:N=7×2=14,I/Y=3/2=1.5,PMT=5/2=2.5,FV=100,求得PV= -112.54
故选项B正确。
