Chаllenge Yоu’re а derivаtives trader, and yоur cоllege friend Taylor tells you about a hedge fund they’re starting. Taylor promises a “[R0] percent per year return.” The fund has a [T]-year "lock-up," meaning you must invest immediately and will receive your return in one lump sum at the end of [T] years. You invest $[PV], but then begin second-guessing yourself. As a derivatives trader, you assumed your friend meant continuous compounding, but they may have meant annual discrete compounding instead. How much less will you receive at the end of the lock-up if Taylor’s promised return was actually discrete rather than continuous? (Hint: your answer should be a positive number.) Enter your answer as a number of dollars, rounded to the nearest whole dollar. For $12,345.67, enter 12346.
