问题如下:
A bond pays a semiannual coupon of $40 and has a current value of $1,109. The next payment on the bond is in four months, and the annual interest rate is 6.50%. Using an annual compounding assumption, the price of a six-month forward contract on this
bond is closest to:
选项:
A.$1,103.
B.$1,104.
C.$1,145.
D.$1,185.
解释:
Use the formula F = (S − I) × (1 + r)T, where I is the present value of $40 to be received in 4 months, or 0.333 years. At a discount rate of 6.50%:
I = $40 / 1.0650.333 = $39.17
F = ($1,109 − 39.17) × 1.0650.5 = $1,104.05
能用画图法说明吗?谢谢
按照6个月来画图,现在相当于t=2,T=6。 那么40的coupon应该减去吗?
