Answer :
Based on the periods of compounding, the rate that is mispriced is the annually compounded rate.
Why is this mispriced?
First find out the effective rates of all the rates.
Continuously compounded rate:
= e ^ (Annual rate x period of compounding) - 1
= e⁰.⁰² ˣ ¹.⁵ - 1
= 0.0305
= 3.05%
Continuously compounded return on maturity:
= e ^ (Yield x period of compounding) - 1
= e⁰.⁰³ ˣ ¹ - 1
= 0.0305
= 3.05%
Annual compounding :
= ( 1 + (Rate of compounding / Number of compounding periods in year))^number of compounding periods - 1
= (1 + 2.10%)¹.⁵ - 1
= 0.0317
= 3.17%
Semi-annual compounding:
= ( 1 + (Rate of compounding / Number of compounding periods in year))^number of compounding periods - 1
= (1 + 2.01%/2)³ - 1
= 0.0305
= 3.05%
Mispricing occurs at Annually compounded rate.
