问题如下:
A bond issued by RTR pays a quarterly coupon of 3.25%, has three years to maturity, and is currently trading at 97.28. The semiannual bond basis yield is closest to:
选项:
A.1.055%
2.121%
4.242%
解释:
C is correct. As a first step, we need to calculate the quarterly yield and annualize it:
The next step is to convert the annualized quarterly yield to the semiannual bond basis yield.
A is incorrect because 1.0550% is the yield per quarter.
B is incorrect because 2.1100% is the yield per quarter (1.0550%) multiplied by 2.
quarterly coupon of 3.25%这种说法怎么感觉应该理解成每季度的coupon是3.25呢?
