问题如下:
A corporate bond has a remaining maturity of 1 year, has a face value of EUR100, and is currently priced at EUR90.90. The real risk-free rate is
3.25%. Inflation is expected to be 2.0% next year, and the premium required by investors for inflation uncertainty is 0.25%. The implied credit risk premium embedded in the bond’s price is best described as:
选项:
A.equal to (100/90.90) – 1 = 10%.
B.10% reduced by the real risk-free rate and expected inflation.
C.10% reduced by the real risk-free rate, expected inflation, and the premium for inflation uncertainty.
解释:
C is correct.

题干中的”The implied credit risk premium embedded in the bond’s price“求出来是4.5%,但是题目其实问的不是 应该 4.5%除以剩下的其他risk premium 之和 5.5%么?
