Present value of a basis point (PVBP) is one of the ways to quantify the risk of a bond, and it measures:

  1. The change in value of a bond when yields increase by 0.01%.
  2. The percentage change in bond price when yields change by 1 basis point.
  3. The present value of the future cash flows of a bond calculated at a yield equal to 1%.
  4. The percentage change in bond price when the yields change by 1%.

Answer(s): A



Modified duration of a bond measures:

  1. The change in value of a bond when yields increase by 1 basis point.
  2. The percentage change in a bond price when yields increase by 1 basis point.
  3. The present value of the future cash flows of a bond calculated at a yield equal to 1%.
  4. The percentage change in a bond price when the yields change by 1%.

Answer(s): D
