Three months ago (90 days), Kim purchaseda bond with a 3% annual coupon and a maturity date of seven years from the dateof purchase. The bond has a face value of US$1,000 and pays interest every 180days from the date of issue. Kim is concerned about a potential increase ininterest rates over the next year and has approached Riley for advice on how touse forward contracts to manage this risk. Riley advises Kim to enter into ashort position in a fixed-income forward contract expiring in 360 days. Theannualized risk-free rate now is 1.5% per year and the price of the bond withaccrued interest is US$1,103.45.
Based on a 360-day year, the price of theforward contract on the bond purchased by Kim is closest to:
选项:
A.
US$1,082.
B.
US$1,090.
C.
US$1,120.
解释:
Notethat time 0 is the forward contract initiation date, that is, 90 days after thepurchase of the bond. Time T is the contract expiration date, that is, 360days.
Theforward contract price follows:
F0(T)= FV0,T [S0 – PVCI0,T]
Presentvalue (PV) of coupons = PVCI0,T = 15/(1.015)90/360 +15/(1.015)270/360 = 14.944 + 14.833 = US$29.778
F0(T)= (1103.45 – 29.778)(1.015)360/360 = US$1,090.
如题,后面提问的答案看起来也是晕的。
