问题如下:
A 5-year, 5% semiannual coupon payment corporate bond is priced at 104.967 per 100 of par value. The bond’s yield-to-maturity, quoted on a semiannual bond basis, is 3.897%. An analyst has been asked to convert to a monthly periodicity. Under this conversion, the yield-to-maturity is closest to:
选项:
A.3.87%.
B.4.95%.
C.7.67%.
解释:
A is correct.
The yield-to-maturity, stated for a periodicity of 12 (monthly periodicity), is 3.87%.The formula to convert an annual percentage rate (annual yield-to-maturity) from one periodicity to another is as follows:
APR12 = 0.00322 × 12 = 0.03865, or approximately 3.87%.
我用计算器这么按的:
N=5*12=60
PV= -104.967
PMT= 100*5%/12=0.4167
FV=100
算出来 IY=0.3254这个应该是月化,我再乘以 12 得到对应的年化是 3.9,为什么这样是不对的呢?
