问题如下:
A six-month bond that pays coupons at the rate of 5% per year is currently worth 100.5. The discount factor is 100.5/(100 + 2.5) = 0.980488.
A one-year bond that pays coupons every six months at the rate of 3% per year is currently worth 98.5. What is the one-year discount factor?
解释:
The value of the coupon that will be paid in six months is 1.5 × 0.980488 = 1.4707.
This means that the value of 101.5 received in one year is 98.5 − 1.4707
= 97.0293 so that the one-year discount factor is 97.0293/101.5 = 0.955953.
债券价格是未来现金流的折现,所以
98.5 = 1.5×6个月的discount factor + 101.5×一年的discount factor
已知6个月的discount factor=0.980488,
则一年的 discount factor = (98.5 - 1.5×0.980488)/101.5
答案的101.5怎么算出来的
