Got it. Thanks @Matthew Graves

Can someone help me solve for R here? The book gives a solution of 4.953. Thanks 2.5e^-0.04x0.5 + 2.5e^-0.045x1 + 2.5e^-0.048x1.5 + 102.5e^-2r = 100 THanks

Amazing response @David Harper CFA FRM . Thanks so much.

Thanks @brian.field Will have a look tonight.

Hi @David Harper CFA FRM I was watching the chapter two video this morning while getting ready for work. I came across this and had a question for you. What is the probability of just an "up" situation? Is it (0.7) x (0.8) + (0.3) x (0.3) ? = 0.65?

F(X): 3/125 | x^2 = 3x^2/125 = 1/125 * dx 3x^2 = 1/125 * 3/1*x^3/3 3s cancel = 1/125 * x^3 = x^3/125 x=(0.05*125)*1/3 = 1.842 -5 = 3.158

Yup. Was fully aware of it to, just slipped out in error! Hope not to repeat that error at the exam haha

Can some of the more polished forum members please validate my statement above? I am really not confident in my probabilities!

Ok. I misread the question. Sorry. You are trying to pick a Bond (B) and an Industrial security (I). P(B) = 10/20 (10 bonds in the pool 10 equities in the pool) P (I) = 14/20 (6 utilities in the pool, 14 industrials in the pool) So, you are trying to figure out the P (B & I) --which is the...

This is really not my strong point but, I figure that since you have 6 chances out of 10 to pick an industrial stock and 8 chances out of 10 to pick an industrial bond, you have 14 chances out of 20 to pick an industrial security. 14/20 = 0.7

Isn't it 0.7?

That is so strange. I kept on inputting those figures and getting different numbers. I will try again later. Thanks

Hi Hi @David Harper CFA FRM Was working on this one last night. PV of the coupon, $5.803. Could not get this. Got $5.73x and tried again and calculating $5.85x What am I doing wrong here? I am assuming I am doing something wrong here with the day counts. thanks

Hi @David Harper CFA FRM Love the videos. Am on video Stock & Watson 4 &5. Your first question, find small r. I had it 98% of the way. One thing threw me off: you mention in the question that the TSS = 90.625 dollars ^2 --- what does the ^2 part mean in the TSS? Do I have to square the...

I got 99 problems but these notes ain't one! Thanks so much!!!! @David Harper CFA FRM @Nicole Manley
