So a change of 1% gives a change in PV of 2.83.To get a PV of 104, we need it to change from 105.55 at 4% to a value of 104 – i.e. a change of 105.55 – 104 = 1.55.Since 2.83 is a change of 1%, then 1.55 is a change of 1.55/2.83 x 1% = 0.55Therefore the rate must be 4% x 0.55% = 4.55%AuthorPostsViewing 2 posts - 1 through 2 (of 2 total)You must be logged in to reply to this topic.Log In Username: Password: Keep me signed in Log In
