问题如下:
A commercial paper has the following characteristics:
For a 365-day year, the discount rate is closest to:
选项:
A.6.2%. B.6.4%. C.6.6%.解释:
B is correct.
DR = (Year/Days) × ((FV – PV)/FV), where Year = number of days in the year, Days = number of days between settlement and maturity, FV = future value paid at maturity/face value of the money market instrument, PV = present value/price of the money market instrument, and FV – PV, is the interest earned.
DR = (365/160) × (140,500/5,000,000) = 0.0641 ≈ 6.4%.
考点:Discount Rate
解析:Discount Rate是折价率,是在面值的基础上进行折价,相当于在面值100的基础上打一个折扣。表格中的Redemption value代表的是面值FV,Interest earned = FV-PV
DR= Year/Day×[(FV-PV)/FV]= (365/160) × (140,500/5,000,000) = 0.0641 ≈ 6.4%
这道题表格的数据,可以理解为,到期还有160天,这160可以获得的利息是140500吗?但是我看140500是earned coupon,我以为是已获得的利息
