隨著國內(nèi)逐漸開放衍生品市場(chǎng),越來越需要有衍生品專業(yè)知識(shí)的人才。這部分的衍生品主要介紹衍生品的一些基本知識(shí),包括衍生品的種類及市場(chǎng)區(qū)分,4大類衍生品的基本定價(jià)原理,以及簡(jiǎn)單期權(quán)策略。

CFA衍生品練習(xí)題
"Derivative"Exercise:The binomial model
Questions 1:
Conceptually,a forward rate agreement most likely allows a company that wants to invest money in the future to lock in a rate by making a:
A、variable payment and receiving a fixed payment.
B、fixed payment and receiving a different fixed payment.
C、fixed payment and receiving a variable payment.
【Answer to question 1】A
【analysis】
A is correct.Forward rate agreements are forward contracts that conceptually allow lenders to lock in a fixed payment on a future investment by receiving a known payment and making an unknown payment that offsets the unknown future interest payment.
B is incorrect.This does not offset the unknown interest payment in the future and thus does not lock in a rate.
C is incorrect.Making a fixed payment and receiving a variable payment looks in a borrowing rate in a forward rate agreement.
In the binomial model,the difference between the up and down factors bestrepresents the:
A、volatility of the underlying.
B、moneyness of an option.
C、pseudo probability.
【Answer to question 2】A
【analysis】
A is correct.The volatility of the underlying is captured in the binomial model by the difference between the up and down factors.
B is incorrect.The moneyness of an option is given by the difference between price of the underlying and exercise price.
C is incorrect.The difference between the up and down factors is only one part(the denominator)of the formula for the pseudo probabilities.
