问题如下:
The bond equivalent yield of a 180-day banker’s acceptance quoted at a discount rate of 4.25% for a 360-day year is closest to:
选项:
A.4.31%.
B.4.34%.
C.4.40%.
解释:
C is correct.
The bond equivalent yield is closest to 4.40%. The present value of the banker’s acceptance is calculated as:
PV = 100 × (1 – 0.02125)
PV = 100 × 0.97875
PV = 97.875
The bond equivalent yield (AOR) is calculated as:
AOR = 2.02778 × 0.02171
AOR = 0.04402, or approximately 4.40%
Note that the PV is calculated using an assumed 360-day year and the AOR (bond equivalent yield) is calculated using a 365-day year.
考点:Yield Measures
解析:考查的是discount yield和 add-on yield之间的转换。1.题目给出了discount rate=4.25%,可以算出PV=100×(1-180/360×4.25%)=97.875。2.然后通过计算出来的PV再计算BEY,BEY就是365天形式的add-on-yield,BEY=365/180×(100-97.875)/97.875=4.40%,故选项C正确。
这道题是不是基础班讲义171页那道题的另一种表述形式?其实就是换了个数字。
