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.
