Hello Nicole,

Hope you are fine.

I just want to let you know that pages 532/1038 and 533/1038 of the reading "FRM Part 1: Financial Markets & Products, chapter 12. Option Markets - Employee Stock Options" are repeated.

Thank you!

Hi Nicole, on pg. 750 (Ch. 16, properties of interest rates), the last bullet point on the changed bond price should be "$93.96 (= 94.21 - 0.2496)". Currently, it shows "96.96343" as the adjusted bond price.
Thank you!

Hello I do not know how for the Commodity Futures and Forwards unit is receiving a storage cost here in the XLS package (content not updated so I'm not sure the formula that is being used) but I do not get how the storage cost is $15.57... even if we do not use the spot price and use the theoretical Futures price the cost is $15.69.... maybe someone can explain further.

I believe the formula for continuous compounding is correct that I used so I'm just not sure where the 15.57 came from... I've re-created the spreadsheet myself and tried all sorts of numbers to get to $15.57.
