Questions 2:
In using matrix pricing to estimate the required yield spread on a new corporate bond issue,the benchmark rate used is most likely to be the:
A 、coupon rate on a government bond with a similar time to maturity.
B 、yield to maturity on a corporate bond with similar credit risk and time to maturity.
C、yield to maturity on a government bond with a similar time to maturity
A is correct. A spot rate is defined as the yield to maturity on a zero-coupon bond maturing at the date of that cash flow.
B is incorrect because the spot rate is the yield to maturity on a zero-coupon bond maturing at that point in time and not the coupon rate on a coupon-paying bond.
C is incorrect because the spot rate is the yield to maturity on a zero-coupon bond maturing at that point in time and not the yield to maturity on a coupon-paying bond.
C is correct. The benchmark rate is the yield to maturity on a government bond with the same, or similar, time to maturity.
A is incorrect because the benchmark rate is measured relative to the yield to maturity and not the coupon rate.
B is incorrect because the benchmark rate is measured relative to the yield to maturity of a government bond, not a similar corporate bond.
