Individual Exercise - Bootstrapping Together in class we went through an exercise in bootstrapping - computing zero rates from observed prices and cash flows. In class, however, we used a semi-annual frequency that is used in practice. Instead, we'll get practice on bootstrapping with an example based on an annual frequency.
