The prospectus quotes the instrument at a true yield of 3.15 percent; that is, the EAR for this investment is 3.15 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 90 days, what are the bond equivalent and discount yields on this investment?

Please explain how you get the result.I am confused.. 0.0315 = {(1 + (i/ 4)} ^(4) -1 (1 + (i/ 4) = (1.0315)^(1/4) (1 + (i/ 4) = 1.00778365 Hence i = 0.031135 = 3.114% Bond equivalent yield = 3.114%

Bond equivalent yield = 3.114%

0.03114= [(100 -Price) /Price] *(360 /90)

0.03114= [(100 -Price) /Price] *4

[(100 -Price) /Price] = 0.007785

Price =$99.228

= [(100 - 99.228) /100] * (360 /90)

= 0.0077249 * 4

=0.030899 or 0.0309

=3.090%
