Question:
Consider a newly issued, seven‐year, 5% annual‐pay bond that is priced at 106 per 100 of par to yield 4%. The price value of a basis point for this bond is closest to:
A
$0.06.
explanation
PV+ can be calculated as:
N = 7; FV = 100; PMT = 4; I/Y = 4.01; CPT PV; PV = $105.94
PV– can be calculated as:
N = 7; FV = 100; PMT = 4; I/Y = 3.99; CPT PV; PV = $106.06
The price value of a basis point can be computed as:
PVBP = (106.06 − 105.94) / 2 = $0.06 per 100 of par value
