问题如下:
A portfolio manager observes the price and
YTM of one-year (r1) and two-year ( r2) annual coupon government benchmark bonds
currently available in the market. How the manager can determine a breakeven
reinvestment rate in one year’s time to help decide whether to invest now for
one or two years?
选项:
A.
Divide the square root of (1 + r2 ) by (1 +
r1 ) and subtract 1 to arrive at a breakeven reinvestment rate for one year in
one year’s time.
B.
Set (1 +r1) multiplied by 1 plus the
breakeven reinvestment rate equal to (1 + r2) 2 and solve for the breakeven
reinvestment rate.
C.
First substitute the one-year rate (r1)
into the two-year bond price equation to solve for the two-year spot or zero
rate (z2 ), then set (1 + r1 ) × (1 + breakeven reinvestment rate) = (1 + z2 ) 2 and solve for the breakeven reinvestment rate.

中文解析:
本题考察的是计算Implied forward rates(IFR)。
即题干说的:观察到市场上现有的一年期(r1)和两年(r2)年期国债的收益率,想确定一年内的盈亏平衡再投资率。
考察的公式为:
基于此公式,只有C选项描述正确。
是因为少说了先求Z2吗
