Can someone pls help me with this question (see below). My teacher marked (14,944,854.67) as the RIGHT ANSWER. This is the second time I am posting this question here as another person from Chegg gave me an incorrect answer of $14,972,301.24

Given that,

Face value = $15 million

Risk-free rate r = 1.11%

No. of years n = 2/12

Calculate the fair price

Fair Price = Face Value / (1 + r)^n

Fair Price = 15,000,000 / (1 + 1.11%)^(2/12)

Fair Price = 15,000,000 / 1.00185

Fair Price = $14,972,301.24 NOT CORRECT
