The Term Structure of Interest Rates Spot Par and Forward Curves calc error


Right answer B but is it possible to do this in the BA II plus? I’ve tried but I get the wrong values. Can someone have a look please?

Question from online CFA question practice pack.

No fast way to do it. You have to discount each CF by its given spot rate. Here’s the first one:

P/Y=C/Y=2
2nd CLR TVM
1 N 1.6 I/Y 3 FV CPT PV -2.976190476 STO 1

Algebraically = 3/(1+ 0.016/2)^1

The other CFs follow a similar pattern and you can store each PV in memory and add them all up.
