问题如下:
A 10-year bond was issued four years ago. The bond is denominated in US dollars, offers a coupon rate of 10% with interest paid semi-annually, and is currently priced at 102% of par. The bond's:
选项:
A.
tenor is six years.
B.
nominal rate is 5%.
C.
redemption value is 102% of the par value.
解释:
A is correct.
The tenor of the bond is the time remaining until the bond’s maturity date. Although the bond had a maturity of 10 years at issuance (original maturity), it was issued four years ago. Thus, there are six years remaining until the maturity date. B is incorrect because the nominal rate is the coupon rate, i.e., the interest rate that the issuer agrees to pay each year until the maturity date. Although interest is paid semi-annually, the nominal rate is 10%, not 5%. C is incorrect because it is the bond’s price, not its redemption value (also called principal amount, principal value, par value, face value, nominal value, or maturity value), that is equal to 102% of the par value.
考点:Basic Features of a Bond
解析:A选项:tenor指的是还剩下的距离到期的年限,由于债券四年前发行,总期限是十年,那么距离到期还剩六年,故选项A正确。
B选项:nominal rate就是coupon rate,即10%,故选项B不正确。
C选项:redemption value就是par value,102% of par是当前的价格。故选项C不正确。
根据题目的表述,这个债券半年复习一次,每次付多少?百分之10还是百分之5。 题目中的coupon rate ,是每期利率,还是每年的利率?
