Calculating Exposure


I get the same PV= 99.75 when N=1, I/Y=2, PMT=1.75, FV=100.

Shouldn’t we add another Coupon payment to the newly calculated PV when solving for Exposure? Or do we not add a Coupon payment to the calculated PV when solving for Exposure at t-zero?

Upon further thought, the Estimated Exposure at t-zero contains the first period’s coupon payment. That same payment has been lumped with the principal and discounted to a PV at t-zero.

When calculating the Estimated Exposure at t-one, you would add the second period’s coupon payment (not discounted) to the PV at t-one.

Am I correct?

At time 1, PV=FV=101.75. No need for discounting!!

Oh now I see! The bond values are values at each node. You gotta watch me all the time, I wander off of the reservation.
