问题如下:
Relative to a fully amortized bond, the coupon payments of an otherwise similar partially amortized bond are
选项:
A.lower or equal
equal
higher or equal
解释:
Correct Answer: C
Except at maturity, the principal repayments are lower for a partially amortized bond than for an otherwise similar fully amortized bond. Consequently, the principal amounts outstanding and, therefore, the amounts of interest payments are higher for a partially amortized bond than for a fully amortized bond, all else equal. The only exception is the first interest payment, which is the same for both repayment structures. This is because no principal repayment has been made by the time the first coupon is paid.
partially amortized bonds相对于fully amotized来说,因为最后一期有一大笔现金流的归还,前期支付的本金较少, 所以coupon 也就是减少,为什么是更多呢?
