gill15 I cant believe after all the bond questions we did i chose a 100 basis points...
ldfrench Gotta remember to take it from semiannual to annual by multiplying it by 2. Always a common mistake
Fabulous1 As the difference between the basis point options is this big you can just use the annual values and still get around 225 bp
