问题如下:
Hake begins development on an algorithm that will evaluate government bonds that have been stripped. He tests his logic by evaluating a dollar-denominated Tangoran government bond with a 3.20%, annual pay coupon maturing in three years, using data in Exhibit 1. The bond is quoted in the market at $103.50.
Based on the market price of the Tangoran government bond and the interest rates in Exhibit 1, what profitable arbitrage opportunity should Hake's algorithm most likely identify?
选项:
A.Buying the Year 1 and Year 2 strips and selling the Year 3 strip
Buying the bond and selling the strips
Buying the strips and selling the bond
解释:
Correct Answer: C
The value of the bond's cash flows using spot rates is $103.4816 and is determined as follows:
So, strips could be purchased for $103.4816 and reconstituted into the bond, which could be sold for $103.50, representing an arbitrage opportunity.
题目给出了三年期的bond价格是103.5,同时给出了spot rate and par rate表格。
请问如果题目是问这只三年期的bond是高估或低估的话,计算的方法也是3.2/1.011+ 3.2/1.015^2+103.2/1.0201^3这样吧?
那么我就有点犯迷糊了, 计算方法都一样,怎么区分是stips的三份bond 还是 整合的一份bond ?
