Calculate the bond equivalent yield and effective annual return on fed funds that are 3 days from maturity and have a quoted nominal yield of 6.56%.
The bond's equivalent yield is computed as follows:
= 6.56% x 365 / 360
= 6.6511111111% or 6.65% Approximately
Effective return is computed as follows:
= (1 + ((0.066511111) / (365 / 3 )) 365 / 3 - 1
= (1 + 0.000546667)365 / 3 - 1
= 6.88% Approximately
