What are the bond-equivalent and discount yields on this


The treasurer of a large corporation wants to invest $20 million in excess short-term cash in a particular money market investment. The prospectus quotes the instrument at a true yield of 5.93 percent; that is, the EAR for this investment is 5.93 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 brought. If the term of the instrument is 90 days, what are the bond-equivalent and discount yields on this investment?
