Based on the OAS value, which of the following assumptions can Jameson make about this particular ABS? A. For a callable bond, the OAS is equivalent to the Z-spread because of the presence of an embedded option. B. The OAS represents the investor’s compensation for credit risk, liquidity risk, and option risk. C. The bond is trading at a yield that is more than 75 bps higher than a Treasury security with a comparable maturity. D. The implied cost of an option embedded in the security is always equal to th difference between the OAS and the Z-spread.
