Using the semi-annually compounded yield curve in the table below, calculate the prices of the following securities (all with par value of $100): a. 2-year floating rate bond with semi-annual payments b. 2 1/2-year floating rate bond with annual payments (next coupon to be paid in 6 months is 6.8%) c. 2 1/2-year floating rate bond with a spread of 40 bps making semi-annual payments (i.e. the floater pays the floating market rate + 40 bps
