问题如下:
The table shows the bid/ask quotes by MAC for CDS spreads for companies A, B, and C.

What is the net annual premium payment made by Vision to MAC in the first year?
选项:
A.USD 0.73 million
B.USD 0.20 million
C.USD 0.48 million
D.USD 0.52 million
解释:
A is correct.
考点:CDS
解析:
The payment is , which translates into $0.73 million.
我先梳理一下题目意思:Vision hedge fund因为投资了B公司,但是B公司有一个过高的信用风险,所以想买个3年的200million的保险(如果B违约了保险公司赔B200million)。为了把这个买保险的成本赚回来,所以Vision公司也准备卖两个保险,收波保费cover自己的开销。这个理解应该没问题把?
然后就是,这个bid/ask的报价我怎么理解呢,200*116的含义是啥,每1块的赔付,我要花116来买?
