Three months have passed since the issuance and today is May 1, 2020 (t = 0.25). Suppose that you have been endowed with money and suddenly become interested in purchasing "XYZ"'s FRNs issued 3-months ago. What is the price of the FRN (per 1-unit) today? On May 1, 2020, you observe the following term structure of interest rates.
