Calculate a bond's price value of a basis point according to the following information:
选项:
A.$0.60.
B.$0.44.
C.$5.74.
解释:
B is correct.
step 1. calculate the yield
PV=−1023.78; FV=1,000; PMT=30; N=10; CPT→I/Y=2.725, multiplied by 2 = 5.45.
step 2. calculate the the price of the bond with a 0.01% yield change
I/Y= (5.45+0.01)/2=2.7301
FV= 1,000; PMT= 30; N=10; I/Y=2.7301; CPT→PV= $1023.34.
Finally, PVBP=$1023.78−$1023.34=$0.44.
I/Y= (5.45+0.01)/2=2.7301
FV= 1,000; PMT= 30; N=10; I/Y=2.7301; CPT→PV= $1023.34
I/Y= (5.45-0.01)/2=2.7200
FV= 1,000; PMT= 30; N=10; I/Y=2.7200; CPT→PV= $1024.23
PVBP=(V_-V+)/2=(1024.23-1023.34)/2=0.445
