Westminster Insurance Company. Westminster Insurance Company plans to sell $2,200,000 of eurocommercial paper with a 90-day maturity and discounted to yield 5.80% per annum. What will be the immediate proceeds to Westminster Insurance? Assume a 360-day year.
(a) The immediate proceeds to Westminster Insurance will be $____?
The immediate proceeds to Westminster Insurance will be computed as follows:
Face Value / Discount rate
Face Value = $ 2,200,000
Discount rate = ( 1 + ((days / 360) x (ytm)))
= ( 1 + ((90/360) x (0.058)))
= 1.0145
So by feeding these values in the above mentioned formula, we shall get proceeds equal to
= $ 2,200,000 / 1.0145
= $ 2,168,555.939
