Question

Suppose you observe the following (zero-coupon) yield curve.

Calculate the discout curve (i.e. calculate the discount factors Z(T) using the formula from class). Assume semi-annual compounding.

Hint: In class, we had to following formula for calculating discount factors Z(T) from zero-coupon rates r(T) in the case of semi-annual compounding

Calculate the discout curve (i.e. calculate the discount factors using the formula from class). Assume semi-annual compounding. Round to six digits after the decimal (e.g. 0.987654).
