Question

Suppose that the yield on a 1-year T-strip is 1.55% and the yield on a 2-year T-strip is 3.90%. The yield on a 1-year, zero-coupon corporate bond is 5.80%, and the yield on a 2-year, zero-coupon corporate bond is 10.30%. Use the information to answer the question: What is the cumulative probability of default for the corporate bond over the 2 years?

Step 1

For the 1-year zero-coupon corporate bond with a yield of 5.80%: Implied probability of default for year 1 = 1 - (1 + Yield/100) Implied probability of default for year 1 = 1 - (1 + 5.80/100) = 1 - 1.058 = 0.058 For the 2-year zero-coupon corporate bond with a Show more…
