The treasurer of a large corporation wants to invest $24 million in excess short-term cash in a particular money market investment. The prospectus quotes the instrument at a true yield of 3.87 percent; that is, the EAR for this investment is 3.87 percent. However, the treasurer wants to know the money market yield on this instrument to make it comparable to the T-bills and CDs she has already bought. If the term of the instrument is 98 days, what is the percentage discount yields on this investment

    Answer: 3.73%

    Explanation:

    We are given an EAR so first we'd have to convert it to an APR.

    We do so by the following formula,

    APR = [ (Ear + 1) ^ (1/n) - 1 ] x n

    APR = ((3.87% + 1) ^ (1/365/98) - 1) x 365/98

    APR = ((1.0387) ^ (98/365) - 1) x 365/98

    APR = 3.816%

    Now that we have the APR, we get the percentage discount yields by,

    = ([360 (.03816) ] / [365 + (98) (.03816))

    = 3.73%

    The percentage discount yields on this investment is 3.73%
