Details

According to information provided by Adams and Smith (2019), the method pricingWithZspread() is developed to compute Bond Price using the given value of a Z-Spread and spot rates taken from the spots curve. Here, cpns is vector of Coupon Payments, spots is a vector of spot rates taken from the spots curve, t is a vector of number of years ranging from 1 to any specified number of years under consideration, mv is maturity value of the bond, n is number of years for which spots are available, and zSprd is given value of a Z-spread.
