Q356: A bank holds a bond portfolio with a total market value of ₹ 200 Crore and a Modified Duration of 6.0 years.
Calculate the Price Value of a Basis Point (PV01 / BPV) for this portfolio. (1 basis point = 0.01%).
✅ Correct Answer: B
The correct answer is B (₹ 12.00 Lakh). The Price Value of a Basis Point (PV01) or Basis Point Value (BPV) measures the absolute change in the portfolio's market value for a 1 basis point (0.01% or 0.0001) change in yield.
The formula is: PV01 = Market Value * Modified Duration * 0.0001.
First, plug in the values: ₹ 200 Crore * 6.0 = ₹ 1200 Crore.
Then multiply by the 1 basis point decimal equivalent: ₹ 1200 Crore * 0.0001 = ₹ 0.12 Crore, which equals ₹ 12 Lakhs.
Option A, C, and D are incorrect due to misplacing the decimal or miscalculating the basis point percentage (e.g., multiplying by 0.01 instead of 0.0001).
