Follow-up Question

I don't agree with the solution for part 1, why is the period not been multiplied by 2 when coupon payment is semi-annually? Also for part 2, what is the formular being used to find the effective annual rate?

This is the reason have been requesting that the solutions show the formulas and not the excel. We dont go with laptops in the exam so that we can use excel to answer exam questions.
