问题如下:
Using the information below, which bond has the greatest money duration per 100 of par value assuming annual coupon payments and no accrued interest?
选项:
A.Bond A
B.Bond B
C.Bond C
解释:
B is correct.
Bond B has the greatest money duration per 100 of par value. Money duration
(MoneyDur) is calculated as the annual modified duration (AnnModDur) times the full price
(PVfull) of the bond including accrued interest. Bond B has the highest money duration per 100 of par value.
MoneyDur = AnnModDur × PVfull
MoneyDur of Bond A = 5.42 × 85.00 = 460.70
MoneyDur of Bond B = 8.44 × 80.00 = 675.20
MoneyDur of Bond C = 7.54 × 85.78 = 646.78
考点:money duration
解析:money duration = modified duration × full price。将表格第三列和最后一列数据相乘,即可算出每个债券的money duration,比较后可知:债券B的money duration最大,故选项B正确。
得出来的数不应该越小越好吗?y变动一个单位,价格就变动那么多不是利率风险就越高?
