The attached is from Hull Ch. 7, Q 7.5. Can anyone please let me know how to convert to continuously compounded interest rates as has been done in the highlighted part?
It comes from the relation r continuous = ln(1+r annual), for example the us rate continuously compounded is given by ln(1+4%)=3.922%
The general relation is given by rc = ln(1+ rk/k) equivalent to rk = (exp(rc)-1)*k where rc is the continuously coumpounded rate and rk the rate coumpounded k times in a year time.
