- What is meant by LIBOR and LIBID. Which is higher?
- The 6-month and 1-year zero rates are both 10% per annum. For a bond that has a life of 18 months and pays a coupon of 8% per annum (with semiannual payments and one having just been made), the yield is 10.4% per annum. What is the
bond’s price ? What is the 18-month zero rate? All rates are quoted with semiannual compounding.
