A bond with a face value of 300 matures in 10 years, and it is calculated to be worth 150 using the Merton model. The risk-free rate is 5%. What is the bond's spread? 书上答案是193bp,我算出来是218bp。
我的解题方法是: PV=-150, FV=300, N=10, PMT=0, compute I/Y= 7.18%
然后7.18%-5%=2.18%
我不知道那个193bp怎么算出来的,题目中说150是用Merton model算出来的,好像解题和Merton model没什么关系呀?
谁帮忙也算下,多谢。
另外,frm notes book 5 中的P165的第8题,答案也是错的吧?如果是Asset和liability的情况下,算variance of surplus时,amount of liability还是用正的值吧
