Question

Show that the credit spread on this bond is exactly equal to P (1 + r ) /(1 − P ) . (Hint: First express the price of the bond at t = 0 as a function of P and r using the backwards procedure. Next, express (1 + Y T M ) of the bond at t = 0 as a function of the bond price, which should also include P and r . Finally, apply the definition of the credit spread.)

Step 1

The price of the bond at t = 0 can be expressed as the present value of its future cash flows. If the bond pays a coupon C at time t = 1 and the face value F at time t = T, then the price of the bond at t = 0, P, can be expressed as: P = C/(1 + r) + C/(1 + r)^2 Show more…
