A、 can be calculated from the forward curve, and the forward curve can be calculated from the spot curve.

【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.

成功=時(shí)間+方法，自制力是這個(gè)等式的保障。世上無(wú)天才，高手都是來(lái)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(wú)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”。
