2、to construct yield curves from observations of prices and yields in the Treasury market. Two reasons account for this tendency. Which of the below is ONE of these reasons?A) The smallest and most inactive bond market, the Treasury market offers the fewest problems of illiquidity or frequent tradingB
3、) Treasury securities have a small amounts of default risk, and differences in creditworthiness do affect yield estimates.C) The largest and most active bond market, the Treasury market offers the fewest problems of illiquidity or infrequent trading.D) Treasury securities are full of default risk, a
4、nd differences in creditworthiness do not affect yield estimates.Answer: CComment: Market participants have tended to construct yield curves from observations of prices and yields in the Treasury market. Two reasons account for this tendency. First, Treasury securities are free of default risk, and
5、differences in creditworthiness do not affect yieldestimates. Second, as the largest and most active bond market, the Treasury market offers the fewest problems of illiquidity or infrequent trading.Diff: 2Topic: 11.1 The Yield Curve and the Term StructureObjective: 11.4 how a theoretical spot rate c
6、urve can be determined from the Treasury yield curve2) More recently market participants have come to realize that the traditionally constructed Treasury yield curve is _ measure of the relation between required yield and maturity with the key reason is that securities with the same maturity may act
7、ually provide _.A) an unsatisfactory; different yieldsB) an unsatisfactory; very similar yieldsC) a satisfactory; different yieldsD) a satisfactory; very similar yieldsAnswer: AComment: More recently market participants have come to realize that the traditionallyconstructed Treasury yield curve is a
8、n unsatisfactory measure of the relation between required yield and maturity with the key reason is that securities with the same maturity may actually provide different yields.Diff: 2Topic: 11.1 The Yield Curve and the Term StructureObjective: 11.1 what the yield curve is 3) Because of the differen
9、t cash flow patterns, it is not appropriate to use _ to discount all cash flows because each cash flow should be discounted at _ that is appropriate for the time period in which the cash flow will be received. A) the same interest rate; a different interest rateB) the same interest rate; a unique in
10、terest rateC) a different interest rate; a common interest rateD) a different interest rate; a unique interest rateAnswer: BComment: Because of the different cash flow patterns, it is not appropriate to use the same interest rate to discount all cash flows because each cash flow should be discounted
11、 at a unique interest rate that is appropriate for the time period in which the cash flow will be received. Diff: 2Topic: 11.1 The Yield Curve and the Term StructureObjective: 11.4 how a theoretical spot rate curve can be determined from the Treasury yield curve4) The correct way to think about bond
12、s A and B is not as bonds but as packages of _.A) coupon payments.B) separate bond instruments.C) zero-coupons without payments.D) zero-coupon instruments.Answer: DComment: The correct way to think about bonds A and B is not as bonds but as packages of cash flows. More specifically, they are package
13、s of zero-coupon instruments.Diff: 2Topic: 11.1 The Yield Curve and the Term StructureObjective: 11.3 what is meant by a spot rate and a spot rate curve5) Which of the below statements is FALSE?A) To determine the value of each zero-coupon instrument, it is necessary to know the yield on a zero-coup
14、on Treasury with that same maturity this yield is called the forward rate.B) Each zero-coupon instrument in the package has a maturity equal to its coupon payment date or, in the case of the principal, the maturity date.C) The value of the bond should equal the value of all the component zero-coupon
15、 instruments.D) the graphical depiction of the relationship between the spot rate and its maturity is called the spot rate curve.Answer: AComment: To determine the value of each zero-coupon instrument, it is necessary to know the yield on a zero-coupon Treasury with that same maturity this yield is
16、called the spot rate. Diff: 2Topic: 11.1 The Yield Curve and the Term StructureObjective: 11.2 the different shapes that the term structure can take 6) It is important to remember that the basic principle underlying bootstrapping is that the value of the Treasury coupon security should be equal to t
17、he value of the package of _ that duplicates the _. A) coupon paying T-Bills; coupon bond's cash flowB) zero-coupon Treasury securities; coupon bond's cash flowC) coupon paying T-Bills; discount bond's cash flowD) zero-coupon Treasury securities; discount bond's cash flowAnswer: BDif
18、f: 2Topic: 11.1 The Yield Curve and the Term StructureObjective: 11.4 how a theoretical spot rate curve can be determined from the Treasury yield curve7) A Treasury bill is a zero-coupon instrument. Therefore, its annualized yield is equal to the spot rate. Similarly, for the one-year Treasury, its
19、cited yield is the one-year spot rate. Given these two spot rates, we can compute the spot rate for _.A) a theoretical 0.5-year zero-coupon Treasury.B) a theoretical 1.0-year zero-coupon Treasury.C) a theoretical 1.5-year zero-coupon Treasury.D) a theoretical 2.0-year zero-coupon Treasury.Answer: CD
20、iff: 2Topic: 11.1 The Yield Curve and the Term StructureObjective: 11.3 what is meant by a spot rate and a spot rate curve2 Forward Rates1) Consider the following two investment alternatives for an investor who has a one-yearinvestment horizon. For Alternative 1, the investor buys a one-year instrum
21、ent. For alternative 2, the investor buys a six-month instrument and when it matures in six months the investor buys another six-month instrument. Which of the below statements is FALSE?A) Given the one-year spot rate, there is some rate on a six-month instrument one year from now that will make the
22、 investor indifferent between the two alternatives.B) With Alternative 1, the investor will realize the one-year spot rate and that rate is known with certainty.C) With Alternative 2, the investor will realize the six-month spot rate, but the six-month rate six months from now is unknown.D) For Alte
