View answer resolution

【Answer to question 1】B

【analysis】

B is correct. Approximate percentage price change = –[7.81 × (–0.0025)] = 0.01953 or 1.95%

A is incorrect. This incorrectly calculated as follows: Approximate percentage price change = –[7.81 × (–0.0025)] × 2 = 0.03905 or 3.91%

C is incorrect. This incorrectly calculated as follows: Approximate percentage price change = – [7.81 × (–0.0025)]/2 = 0.00976 or 0.98%

【Answer to question 2】B

【analysis】

B is correct. For an option-free, fixed-rate bond, changes in the yield spread can arise from changes in the credit risk of the issuer and/or changes in the liquidity of the issue. Changes in the expected inflation rate influence the benchmark rate.

C is incorrect because changes in the yield spread an option-free, fixed-rate bond arise from changes in the liquidity of the issue.

A is incorrect because changes in the yield spread an option-free, fixed-rate bond arise from changes in the credit risk of the issuer.
