@Angela, Oops! That (2) was a typo, but only one of the coupons was taken into account when the scenario was created, so the math should still work. Thanks for catching that! 🙂
Angela says
oh no, the linky disappeared. (or at least it did for me!)
here is my scenario – $5.98 OOP, $1 ECB to roll, $14 in product.
