funny I'm going back to Khan Academy so many years later, except the stakes are so much higher than just failing a class lol

[adrianliz]

Does the yield curve relate risk and interest rates or is it a representation of the relationship between interest rates and time?

Stop waiting to the last day to study!

[okanaybar]

again you should have annualized rates for maturities shorter than 1 year. eg. 1 moonth should be 1, 001667361 not 1%

[tauriqabdullah]
