Answer:
Yield with 6-day maturity is 7.70%
Yield with 18-day maturity is 2.57%
Explanation:
The formula for yield on repurchase is given as:
y = ( PAR – P ) / P x (360 / t )
P=Purchase price
PAR=Repurchase price
t= number of days of the transaction
In first scenario,PAR is $39 million,P is $38.95 million and t=6
y=($39000000-38950000)/38950000*(360/6)
y=7.70%
In the second scenario,details remained the same except for t that is 18
y=($39000000-38950000)/38950000*(360/18)
y=2.57%
This implies the longer the maturity the lesser the yield since yield is computed on daily basis.
By the year of 2013 the number of high school students took classes that could earn them college credits in advanced placement or international baccalaureate course has increased to 33 percent, it is only 19 percent in the year 2003 so it had increase by 24 percent but the answer is 33 percent.
