Answer:
10.51%
Explanation:
The computation of the bond equivalent yield is shown below:
Given that
Par value at redemption = $10,000
Bond price = $9,720
Number of days of maturity = 100 days
Now
Profit of holding this bond = Par value at redemption - Bond purchase price
= $10,000 - $9,720
= $280
Now yield from the 100 days
= profit from holding the bond ÷ Purchase price of the bond
= $280÷ $9,720 × 100
= 2.88
Now the yield annualized is
= 2.88 × 365 days ÷ 100 days
= 10.51%
