Under a semi-annual compounding convention,the present value of a nn -period cashflow using its ytm yy is given by P=C/(1+y/2) nP = C / ( 1 + y / 2 ) ^ { n } .Which of the following is an equivalent way of expressing the same present value?


A) P=Cdn(n/2) P = C \cdot d _ { n } \cdot ( n / 2 )
,where
dnd _ { n }
Is the discount function for
nn
Periods,and
n/2n / 2
Is the time to maturity of the cash-flow.
B) P=Cezn×n/2P = C e ^ { - z _ { n } \times n / 2 }
,where
ZnZ _ { n }
Is the semi-annual basis zero-coupon rate for
nn
Periods.
C) P=C/j=1n(1+fj) P = C / \prod _ { j = 1 } ^ { n } \left( 1 + f _ { j } \right)
