Questions 1:

A swap that involves the exchange of a fixed payment for a floating payment can be interpreted as a series of forward contracts with different expiration dates. These implied forward contracts will most likely have:

A 、different prices due to differences in the price of the underlying at expiration.

B、 identical prices.

C、 different prices due to differences in the cost of carry.

Questions 2:

Holding other factors constant, the value of a European put option will most likely decrease as the:

A、 risk-free interest rate increases.

B、 volatility of the underlying increases.

C、 value of the underlying decreases.

View answer resolution

【Answer to question 1】C

【analysis】

C is correct. Due to differences in the cost of carry, implied forward contracts will have different prices. The differences in the cost of carry stem from the timing differences of the payments.

A is incorrect. Differences in price are due to differences in the cost of carry. The price of the underlying at expiration is irrelevant for the price. It determines the value of the swap.

B is incorrect. The prices will be different due to differences in the cost of carry

【Answer to question 2】A

【analysis】

A is correct. The value of a European put option will decrease as the risk-free interest rate increases.

B is incorrect. The value of a European put option will increase as the volatility of the underlying increases.

C is incorrect. The value of a European put option will increase as the value of the underlying decreases.

成功=時(shí)間+方法，自制力是這個(gè)等式的保障。世上無天才，高手都是來自刻苦的練習(xí)。而人們經(jīng)常只看到“牛人”閃耀的成績(jī)，其成績(jī)背后無比寂寞的勤奮。小編相信，每天都在勤奮練習(xí)，即使是一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)的進(jìn)步，大家一定可以成為人人稱贊的“牛人”。更多CFA考試資訊，點(diǎn)擊了解>
