Problem:
The treasurer of a large corporation wants to invest $45 million in excess short-term cash in a particular money market investment. The prospectus quotes the instrument at a true yield of 3.65 percent; that is, the EAR for this investment is 3.65 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 87 days, what are the bond-equivalent and discount yields on this investment? Please provide step by step solution and also justify your answer and calculations.
