问题如下:
The one-year spot rate r(1) = 5% and the forward price for a one-year zero-coupon bond beginning in one year is 0.9346. The spot price of a two-year zero-coupon bond is closest to:
选项:
A.0.87.
B.0.89.
C.0.93.
解释:
B is correct.
We can convert spot rates to spot prices and use the forward pricing model, so have P(1)=
The forward pricing model is P(T*+T)=P(T*)F(T*,T),
so P(2)=P(1)F(1,1)= 0.9524 × 0.9346 = 0.8901
考点:forward pricing model
我们可以将即期利率转化成即期价格P(1)=1/(1.05)=0.9524。再通过forward pricing model,P(T*+T)=P(T*)F(T*,T),得到P(2)=P(1)×F(1,1)=0.9524×0.9346=0.8901。
老师,您好!题目所说“the forward price for a one-year zero-coupon bond beginning in one year is 0.9346”,我理解这个远期合约的价格是远期的流入现金流在第二年年末经过f1,1 和 r1两次折现后得到的0.9346,即0.9346 = (1/r1)*(1/f1,1),是这样吗?
