问题如下:
Exhibit 1 shows par, spot, and one-year forward rates.
Bond 4 is a fixed-Rate Bonds of Alpha Corporation, with 1.55% annual coupon and callable at par without any lockout periods. The bond maturity is 3 years.
Based on the information above, the value of the embedded option in Bond 4 is closest to:
选项:
A.nil.
B.0.1906.
C.0.8789.
解释:
C is correct.
考点:考察对含权债券的理解
解析:
债券4是可Callable。其价值为:
Value of callable bond = value of straight bond – value of call option on bond
因此,Embedded call option的价值为:
Value of call option on bond = Value of straight bond – Value of callable bond
利用Spot rate对该Straight bond进行定价为:
无赎回保护期的可赎回债券的价值不能超过100,因此call option的价值为=100.8789–100=0.8789。
解析里Call option的Value是100.8789-100=0.8789,但是提问中回答是100.8789-100.5446=0.3343,哪种算法才是正确的呢?
