单项选择题
Which of the following statements concerning the effects of interest rate volatility on bonds with embedded options is FALSE（）
A. As yield volatility increases, the value of callable bonds decreases.
B. A putable bond’s value is its straight bond value plus the value of the embedded put option.
C. A callable bond’s value is its straight bond value plus the value of the embedded call option.
答案
参考答案：C
解析：
A callable bond’s value is its straight bond value minus the value of the embedded call option. Since the bondholder is effectively short a call option, the value of the option is subtracted from the bond price. This is why the value of callable bonds decreases when yield volatility rises.
