问题如下:
Alpha Co. issued a five-year semi-annual floating rate bond. The coupon rate is six-month MRR plus 100 bps. The bond makes interest payments on 15 June and 15 December every year. On 15 June the six-month MRR is 3%, and on 15 December the six-month MRR is 3.2%. The coupon rate for the interest payment made on December 15 should be closest to:
选项:
A.
3.2%
B.
4.2%
C.
4.0%
解释:
C is correct.
The coupon reset date for the coupon paid on 15 December is 15 June. Therefore, the coupon rate on 15 December = six month MRR on 15 June + 100 bps=3%+1%=4%.
考点:浮动利率债券
解析:现在要我们求的是12月15日支付的利息,而每一期的利息都是由期初利率决定的,所以12月15日的利息是由6月15日的利率确定的,6月15日的六个月MRR是3%,所以我们在3%的基础上加上1% (100bps) 得到4%,故选项C正确。
您好:
此題對照 NO.PZ2018062010000001(選擇題),雖然NO.PZ2018062010000001是capital-indexed bond,但它並沒有用期初利率計算coupon rate以及the first coupon payment
想請教助教我的思路哪裡該調整呢?
謝謝🙏
