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
