CFA衍生品练习题
"Derivative"exercise:Put Call Parity
Questions 1:
The price of an interest rate swap that involves the exchange of a fixed payment for a floating payment is most likely:
A、equal to its value at expiration.
B、set at initiation and constant over time.
C、affected by changes in the floating payment.
【Answer to question 1】B
【analysis】
B is correct.Swaps have both a price and a value.Price in the context of a swap is a reference to the fixed-rate payment on the swap,which is constant over time.The value of a swap is zero at initiation but can change over the life of the swap as market interest rates change.
A is incorrect.Price and value are not normally equal at expiration.
C is incorrect.The price in the context of a swap is a reference to the fixed-rate payment on the swap,which is constant over time and does not change in reaction to interest rate changes.
Questions 2:
Using put–call parity,a long call can best be replicated by going:
A、long the put,short the asset,and long the bond.
B、short the put,long the asset,and short the bond.
C、long the put,long the asset,and short the bond.
【Answer to question 2】C
【analysis】
C is correct.According to put–call parity,a long call is equal to long put,long asset,short bond.
A is incorrect.The short asset position must be a long position,and the long bond position must be a short position.According to put–call parity,a long call is equal to long put,long asset,short bond.
B is incorrect.The short put position must be a long position.According to put–call parity,a long call is equal to long put,long asset,short bond.
