问题如下:
A bond with exactly nine years remaining until maturity offers a 3% coupon rate with annual coupons. The bond, with a yield-to-maturity of 5%, is priced at 85.784357 per 100 of par value. The estimated price value of a basis point for the bond is closest to:
选项:
A.0.0086.
B.0.0648.
C.0.1295.
解释:
B is correct.
The PVBP is closest to 0.0648. The formula for the price value of a basis pointis:
where:
PVBP = price value of a basis point
PV– = full price calculated by lowering the yield-to-maturity by one basis point
PV+ = full price calculated by raising the yield-to-maturity by one basis point
Lowering the yield-to-maturity by one basis point to 4.99% results in a bond price of 85.849134:
Increasing the yield-to-maturity by one basis point to 5.01% results in a bond price of 85.719638:
Alternatively, the PVBP can be derived using modified duration:
PVBP = 7.548 × 85.784357 × 0.0001 = 0.06475
考点:PVBP
解析:PVBP衡量的是利率变化1bp,带来的债券价格变化。
分别算出利率下降1个bp的债券价格PV-(85.849134)和利率上升一个bp的债券价格PV+(85.719638),两者相减再除以2,即可得PVBP=0.0648,故选项B正确。
注意:如果直接算出PV+(或PV-),它和原本的PV之间本身就是由于利率变化1bp造成的,所以两者直接相减即可,不需要除以2。 如果分别算出PV-和PV+,那么它俩之间是由于利率相差2bps造成的,所以相减之后需要除以2。
老师想问一下这句话怎么理解 “priced at 85.784357 per 100 of par value” 在这道题中又怎么用呢。 如果我直接用 (PV_-PV+)/2 可以吗
