What do we want to replicate?

One coupon stream (of c) from 1 to T


One large payment (of FV) at T
The present value of the FV is easy
PV(FV) = FV/(1+y)T

The coupon stream, CS, can be viewed as the


difference between two perpetuities:
One perpetuity starting at time 1, X1
One perpetuity starting at time T+1, X2

Its PV is the difference in the PV of X1 and X2


PV(CS) = PV(X1) - PV(X2)
