10. 10 Bank Discount Rate (T-Bills) r BD = bank discount rate P= market price of the T-bill n= number of days to maturity r BD = 10,000- P10,000 x 360 n 90-day T-bill, P = $9,875 r BD = 10,000 - 9,875 10,000 x 360 90 =5% (Example)

11. 11 Bond Equivalent Yield P = market price of the T-bill n = number of days to maturity r BEY = 10,000 - PP x 365 n r BEY = 10,000 - 9,875 9,875 x 365 90 r BEY =.0127 x 4.0556 =.0513 = 5.13% Example using the sample T-Bill:  Convert the bank discount rate into BEY to make it comparable with other bond yields

13. 13 Capital Market : Fixed Income Instruments 2  Municipal bond (“munis”) –Issued by state and local gov’t, and interest income is exempt from federal and sometimes state and local tax (but capital gains are taxable) –To compare yields on taxable securities, we compute a Taxable Equivalent Yield as follows rmrm r = 1 – t r m = muni bond yield r = taxable equivalent yield t = marginal tax rate r m = r×(1 – t)

14. 14 Capital Market : Fixed Income Instruments 3  Corporate bonds –Long-term debt issued by private corporations, paying typically semiannual interests and principal at maturity –Secured (mortgage or collateral) vs. unsecured (Debenture) –Guaranteed vs. straight bond –Option-embedded bonds: Callable, puttable, convertible, etc. –Current yield = Annual coupon / Current price –Yield-to-maturity = current yield + capital gain yield  International Bonds –Eurobond: denominated in a currency other than the issuing country, e.g., dollar-denominated bond issued in London –Yankee bond, Samurai bond
