问题如下:
If the market discount rates for all three bonds increase by 50 basis points, which bond will experience the smallest decrease in the percentage of price?
选项:
A. Bond A
B. Bond B
C. Bond C
解释:
B is correct.
Bond A and bond B has the same time to maturity, but B has a higher coupon rate. So the duration of bond A is higher than that of bond B.
Bond A and bond C has the same coupon rate, but C has a longer time to maturity. So the duration of bond A is lower than that of bond C.
C's duration > A's duration > B's duration, bond B will experience the smallest decrease in the percentage of price.
比方说,我先对比期限,把期限最长的c选项排除,对比a和b,原则coupon小的那个,为什么不对呀
