View answer resolution

【Answer to question 1】A

【analysis】

A is correct. A security with a present value of 96.47, 19 interest payments of 8, and a 20th payment of principal plus interest (108) has a yield to maturity of 8.37%.

B is incorrect because it is the security’s current yield: ($8/$96.47).

C is incorrect because it is: $8/$108 = 0.0741.

【Answer to question 2】A

【analysis】

A is correct. The forward and spot curves are interconnected to each other. The spot curve can be calculated from the forward curve, and the forward curve can be calculated from the spot curve. Either curve can be used to value fixed-rate bonds.

B is incorrect because the spot curve can be calculated from the forward curve, and the forward curve can be calculated from the spot curve.

C is incorrect because the spot curve can be calculated from the forward curve, and the forward curve can be calculated from the spot curve.
