You sure they don’t give you the 60, 240, 420 . . . . rates/discount factors?

Nope

Anyone want to take a shot at solving this question?

I’m guessing it’s either A or C

Holy smoke, I am going get smoked on this

The new term structure and discount factors are provided in the vignette: bottom of page 70.

ph Boom I’m looking at the exam question they have given you an entire table with a list of all the rates look for the 60, 240, 420, and 600 days…and you’ll get your answer…

Mumu, thanks man. Holy smoke I can’t believe I missed it
