问题如下:
There is a two-year FRN with quoted margin at 50 basis points and the reference rate is 6-month Libor. The current 6-month Libor is 1.2% which is supposed to be constant for the following 2 years and the floater is priced at 95 per 100 of par value. Please calculate the discount margin for the floater assuming a 30/360 day-count convention and evenly spaced periods.
选项:
A.298 bps
B.314 bps
C.217 bps
解释:
B is correct.
First we need to calculate the interest payment each period:
{(6-month Libor+QM) × FV}/m={(0.012+0.005) × 100}/2=0.85
then calculate the discount rate per period :
r=2.168%
Now, solve for DM:
DM = 3.14%
老师,我能算出0.85,然后式子也能列出来是一样的。输入计算器是PV=-95,FV=100.85,PMT=0.85,N=4,计算出来I/Y就是2.380321.怎么和答案中的r不一样??我哪里输入错了吗?
