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:
where:
PV = present value, or price of the money market instrument
FV = future value paid at maturity, or face value of the money market instrument
Days = number of days between settlement and maturity
Year = number of days in the year
DR = discount rate, stated as an annual percentage rate
PV = 100 × (1 – 0.02125)
PV = 100 × 0.97875
PV = 97.875
The bond equivalent yield (AOR) is calculated as:
where:
PV = present value, principal amount, or the price of the money market instrument
FV = future value, or the redemption amount paid at maturity including interest
Days = number of days between settlement and maturity
Year = number of days in the year
AOR = add-on rate (bond equivalent yield), stated as an annual percentage rate
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.
何老师在基础班和强化班讲这个AOR的计算好像都是用的360天算的。。。我隐约记得好像说一般AOR都是用365算的,除非题目有特殊说明用360天算。考试中遇到的话是就统一用365天算吗,特别是遇到这种用这两个天数算都有答案的。。。
