问题如下:
A bond with 5 years remaining until maturity is currently trading for 101 per 100 of par value. The bond offers a 6% coupon rate with interest paid semiannually. The bond is first callable in 3 years, and is callable after that date on coupon dates according to the following schedule:
The bond’s annual yield-to-first-call is closest to:
选项:
A.3.12%.
B.6.11%.
C.6.25%.
解释:
C is correct.
The yield-to-first-call is 6.25%. Given the first call date is exactly three years away, the formula for calculating this bond’s yield-to-first-call is:
r = 0.03123
To arrive at the annualized yield-to-first-call, the semiannual rate of 3.123% must be multiplied by two. Therefore, the yield-to-first-call is equal to 3.123% × 2 = 6.25% (rounded).
考点:YTC
解析:可利用计算器:N=3×2=6,PMT=3,PV= -101,FV=102,算出来I/Y=3.12,再乘2得:YTC=3.12×2=6.25%,故选项C正确。
为什么pv不是100?
