In 54 months time you expect a cash flow of $3 million. Calculate it’s present value (PV) given the 54-month interest rate is currently 4%, with a volatility of 120 basis points (bps). Explain, using equations with properly-defined mathematical notation, how to map this cash flow to vertices at 4 years and 5 years, in such a way that the volatility of the present value of the mapped cash flow remains at 120 bps. Suppose the 4-year rate has a volatility of 110 bps and the 5-year rate has a volatility of 150 bps, and their correlation is 0.9. How much should be mapped to each vertex. Give your answer in PV terms and round your answers to whole $ values.
