FixedRateBond: Fixed rate bond evaluation using discount curve solution

Description

The FixedRateBond function evaluates a fixed rate bond using discount curve. More specificly, the calculation is done by DiscountingBondEngine from QuantLib. The NPV, clean price, dirty price, accrued interest, yield and cash flows of the bond is returned. For more detail, see the source codes in quantlib's test-suite. test-suite/bond.cpp

Usage

## S3 method for class 'default':
FixedRateBond(bond, rates, discountCurve, dateparams )
## S3 method for class 'Bond':

Arguments

bond

bond parameters: ll{ faceAmount a double, face amount of the bond issueDate a Date, the bond's issue date maturityDate a Date, the bond's maturity date redemption

rates

a double vector of rates

discountCurve

Can be on of the following: l{ a DiscountCurve object A list that specifies a flat curve in two values "todayDate" and "rate" A list that specified 3 values to construct a DiscountCurve object, "pa

dateparams

QuantLib's date parameters of the bond. ll{ settlementDays a double, settlement days. calendar a string, either 'us' or 'uk' corresponding to US Goverment Bond calendar and UK Exchange calendar.

Value

The FixedRateBond function returns an object of class FixedRateBond (which inherits from class Bond). It contains a list with the following components:
NPVnet present value of the bond
cleanPriceprice price of the bond
dirtyPricedirty price of the bond
accruedAmountaccrued amount of the bond
yieldyield of the bond
cashFlowscash flows of the bond

Details

A discount curve is built to calculate the bond value.

Please see any decent Finance textbook for background reading, and the QuantLib documentation for details on the QuantLib implementation.
