    Hello,

    It seems to me that the example on page 11, chapter 11 is using the wrong formula to determine the price of a 5-year zero coupon bond:

    "The price of the 5-year zero-coupon bond today is: 100/(1.05^10)"

    Am I being dense, or is this plain wrong?

    Thanks, it is 10% annual but convertible half-yearly. I missed reading that small detail
