问题如下:
Based on the information in Exhibit 1 and Exhibit 2, the value of the embedded option in Bond 4 is closest to:
选项:
A.nil.
B.0.1906.
C.0.8789.
解释:
C is correct.
Bond 4 is a callable bond. Value of an issuer call option = Value of straight bond – Value of callable bond. The value of the straight bond may be calculated using the spot rates or the one-year forward rates.
Value of an option-free (straight) bond with a 1.55% coupon using spot rates:
1.55/(1.0100)1 + 1.55/(1.012012)2 + 101.55/(1.012515)3 = 100.8789.
The value of a callable bond (at par) with no call protection period cannot exceed 100, as at that price or higher the bond would be called. The value of the call option = 100.8789 – 100 = 0.8789.
不是应该用二叉树来算吗?是题目中没有给出二叉树就按照100来做吗?我是用题目下面给出的二叉树算的,但是并没有相应的选项
