【Answer to question 1】（A）

【analysis】

The price of the commercial paper per 100 of par value is: where PV and FV are the price and face value of the money market instrument, Days is the number of days between settlement and maturity, Year is number of days in the year, and DR is the discount rate stated as an annual percentage.

【Answer to question 2】（B）

【analysis】

When interest rates are rising, the put option becomes more valuable to the investor. The ability to sell the bond at par value limits the price depreciation as rates rise. So, the presence of an embedded put option reduces the sensitivity of the bond price to changes in interest rates, resulting in a lower effective duration.

成功=時(shí)間+方法，自制力是這個(gè)等式的保障。世上無(wú)天才，高手都是來(lái)自刻苦的練習(xí)。而人們經(jīng)常只看到“牛人”閃耀的成績(jī)，其成績(jī)背后無(wú)比寂寞的勤奮。小編相信，每天都在勤奮練習(xí)，即使是一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)的進(jìn)步，大家一定可以成為人人稱贊的“牛人”。
