(p. 687) The value of a risky debt can be thought of as the value of an equivalent risk-free debt less the value of a put option. Also, bond value can be thought of as the value of the assets of a firm minus the value of call option on assets. Conceptually this is an attractive way to price risky bonds. But in practice it is quite complicated. 17. (p. 755) B 18. (p. 756) B 19. (p. 758) A 20. (p. 758) B 21.

(p. 761) Interest rate parity provides the relationship between interest rates in two countries and the differences between the forward and the spot rates. Interest rate parity is ensured through arbitrage. This explains how forward rates are determined in the marketplace. Forward rates serve to determine interest rate parity between two countries, for investors involved in covered interest arbitrage.
