| Teeto | D(2) is 5, how comes its 0.5x(-10/100) ? D(10) is not present in the table. If D(3) is used instead of (D10) (why?) then total value considering the first line does not change. Chances are I got the question wrong. |
| sarasyed5 | see the values in the bottom most row @teeto |
| davidt87 | Teeto D(1) corresponds to the 2-year, D(2) to the 5-yr... etc. |
