Expert Solution

You purchase a commercial paper of $2 million that will mature on August 1.

You purchased it on June 3, so the no of days of commercial paper from 3 june to 1 Aug = 59 days

Calculating the Purchase price using the formula:-

P = S(1-d*t)

where, P = Purchase price of commercial paper

S = face value of commercial paper = $2,000,000

d = discount rate = 11%

t = no of days = 59

P = $2,000,000*[1-0.11*(59days/360days)]

P = $1,963,944.44

So, the purchase price of commercial paper is $1,963,944.44
