B.$46299.C.$46316.解析：解析 国库券的理论即期利率可用于无风险现金流的定价，因此，本题所求现金流=(7).The zero-volatility spread (Z-spread) is a measure of the spread of:（分数：1.00）A.all points on the Treasury spot curve. B.all points on

41、 the Treasury yield curve.C.one point on the Treasury yield curve.解析：解析 零波动差额用于度量以下指标：如果投资者选择将债券持有至到期日，则投资者在整个同库券即期曲线上可以实现的差额。因此，本题的正确选项为 A。(8).Assuming the Treasury spot-rate yield curve is upward sloping. Compared to the nominal yield spread between a Treasury bond and an option-flee corporate bon

42、d of similar maturity, the Z-spread will be:（分数：1.00）A.equal to the nominal spread.B.less than the nominal spread.C.greater than the nominal spread. 解析：解析 基准即期利率曲线的斜率绝对值越大，则债券收益率的名义差额与零波动差额之间的差异越大。具体来讲，如果基准即期利率曲线的斜率为零(即曲线为水平线)，则债券收益率的名义差额等于零波动差额；如果基准即期利率曲线的斜率为正(即曲线向右上方倾斜)，则债券收益率的零波动差额大于名义差额；如果基准即期利率

43、曲线的斜率为负(即曲线向右下方倾斜)，则债券收益率的零波动差额小于名义差额。因此，本题的正确选项为 C。3.An investor purchase a bond that is putable at the option of the holder. The option has value. He has calculated the Z-spread as 185 basis point. The option-adjusted spread will be:（分数：1.00）A.equal to 185 basis points.B.less than 185 basis points

44、.C.greater than 185 basis points. 解析：解析 当债券包含嵌入期权时，我们需要使用期权调整差额(OAS)来确定其各期收益率。以可赎回债券为例，这类债券的收益率通常高于不包含此类期权债券的收益率，从而其收益率具有较大的名义差额和零波动差额。在不考虑期权价值的情况下，上述差额将表明该类债券具有较高的价值，但实际上，其额外的收益率只是债券赎回风险的补偿。一般来讲，债券的期权调整差额可以被视作零波动差额的期权收益率部分；从债券即期利率曲线的角度来讲，期权调整差额实际上是在不存在相关期权的条件下，该曲线沿垂直方向向下平移的截距。 可赎回债券的期权调整差额一般小于债券的零波

45、动差额，二者的差额就是用于对债券中的赎回期权进行补偿的附加收益率。如果我们把上述附加收益率称作期权成本，则可以得到以下关系式： 零波动差额-期权调整差额(OAS)=期权成本 对于包含有利于债券持有人的嵌入期权的短期债券(如可退还债券)来讲，由于其期权成本为负，从而其期权调整差额(OAS)大于零波动差额。这也就是说，与不包含嵌入期权的债券相比，投资者会对此类债券要求较低的收益率，以其享有的相关期权作为补偿。4.The option adjusted spread (OAS) is best described as the:（分数：1.00）A.Z-spread minus the option

46、 cost. B.Z-spread plus the cost of the option.C.value of the security“s embedded option.解析：解析 由式(零波动差额-期权调整差额(OAS)=期权成本)可知，期权调整差额(OAS)等于零波动差额与期权成本之差。5.The 3-year spot rate is 8.7%, and the 2-year spot rate is 9.2%. What is the 1-year forward rate two years form present?（分数：1.00）A.5.8%B.7.2%C.7.7% 解析

47、：解析 (1+8.7%) 3 =(1+9.2%) 2 (1+ 1 f 2 ) 解得 2年后的一年期远期利率 1 f 2 =7.7%。6.An investor accumulated the following financial data: current 1-year rate =4.8% 1 f 1 =6.3% 1 f 2 =7.5% Using annual compounding, the value of a 3-year, zero-coupon, $1000 par value bond would be:（分数：1.00）A.$792.B.$835. C.$1086.解析：解

48、析 7.Relative to the duration/convexity approach, a shortcoming of the full value approach to measuring the interest rate risk of a bond portfolio is that is that it:（分数：1.00）A.is relatively time consuming. B.cannot be used for stress testing.C.ignores the impact of embedded options.解析：解析 债券利率风险的全面定价

49、法基于收益率曲线的变动，通过我们之前所讲的定价方法对债券进行定价。对于不包含期权的债券来讲，其定价方法比较简单，例如，收益率增加 30个基点对其价值的影响。在较为复杂的场合下，仍可以应用这一方法，如向右上方倾斜的债券收益率曲线，即长期利率的增长幅度大于短期利率增长幅度的情况。在债券定价模型有效的前提下，我们只需将基于相关模型得出的利率加到原先的利率水平上，即可得出债券的价值。此外，该方法还可以应用在债券组合中，通过对债券组合中的各个债券逐一进行分析，我们可以确定利率变动对债券组合价值的影响。 债券利率风险的久期凸度分析法提供了债券或债券组合的实际利率的估计值。与全面定价法相比，该方法的主要优势在于其分析方法的简便性。特别是对于包含可赎回债券的债券组合来讲，全面分析法将耗费大量的时间并显得过于复杂，从而久期凸度分析法更适合于相关分析。因此，本题的正确选项为 A。8.A 12% semiannual-pay coupon bond has 1.5 years to maturity. The bond is currently trading at par. Using a 100 basis point change in yield, what is t
