INVESTMENT ANALYSIS AND PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT - SEMESTER-6 Marks Question No. 1 (a) Reasons for Correctness: Response to Statement (i): The value of callable bond = Value of non-callable ~ Value of call option The decrease in volatility would cause decrease in value of call option, leading to increase in value of callable bond. Hence, the statement is incorrect. 1 Response to Statement (ii) Change in level of interest rates affects all bonds. Hence, the statement is incorrect. 1 Response to Statement (ii) Value of callable bond= Value of straight bond — Value of call option. As interest rate decreases, the value of call option goes up as well as the value of straight bond. However, the increase in value of callable bond will be less as compared to non-callable bond. Hence, the statement is correct 1 Response to Statement (v) Value of putable bond = _-Value of straight bond + Value of put option. As interest rates increase, the long put in a putable bond hedges against the loss in value; the value of a putable bond falls less rapidly than the value of straight bond. Hence, the statement is correct. 1 (b) Market Value of the Embedded Call Option: Value of callable bond = Value of non-callable — Value of call option 1 Value of call option = Value of non-callable ~ Value of callable bond % Value of call option = Rs.99.55 -Rs.98.23 = Rs.1.32 % (c) Free Cash Flow to Equity: Rs. in million ‘A.
