A second reason is that the discount yield is annualized by a 360-day rather than a 365-day year. P = 1,000 [1 rbd (n/360)] where rbd is the discount yield. Pbid = 1,000 [1 . 0690(60/360)] = . 50. = 6. 98%, which exceeds the discount yield, rbd = 6. 81%. To obtain the effective annual yield, reay, note that the 60-day growth factor for invested funds is. )365/60 = 1. 0719 which implies that reay = 7. 19%. P = 10,000/[1 + . 05 (91/365)] = $ 9,875. 34: a. i. ii.
