Q

Yield convention for tbills and commercial paper

A

Discount yield= par-B/par *360/T

Bond equivalent yield (ytm)= par - b/b *365/t

Effective annual yield (this is the correct ytm)= (par/B)^(365/t) -1

34
Q

How do we calculate the bid and ask of a tbills quote

A

Bid pric= par(1 - discount yieldt/360)

Ask price = par *(1 - yd *t/360)
So its the same thing, what might differ is Yd, since bid and ask price depend on the quoted Yd, yield of ask should be higher–» this would mean price would be lower, so buy side, you want to submit a lower ask then what the bid price is, if not you’re fkn dumb

35
Q

Federal funds and repurchase agreement yield

A

Money market yield Ymm= interest/loan *360/t (approx to YTM)

Y eay= (RV/loan)^(365/t) -1

Redemption value (RV) = loan * (1+ Ymm * t/360)

36
Q

Certificate deposit yield

A

Redemption value= principal *(1+Ymm * maturity/360)

Price= RV /(1+r*t/360), t is time left and r i opportunity cost out there

Yeay = (RV/price) ^(365/t) -1

37
Q

Banker acceptance yield

A

B= par (1-ydt/360)

Bank discount yield yd refers to the quoted interest rate

Eay= (par/price) ^(365/t) -1
