    The first cash flow is paid on December 1st, 2018, and is worth 100. The second cash flow is paid on February 15th, 2019, and is worth 100. The security pays an annual interest rate of 5% up until February 1st, 2019, and 6% after February 1st, 2019. When the currency number format is applied, the price of the security is 97.26.
