BillBondEquiv

This function calculates the bond-equivalent yield for a treasury bill. It does so using the following equation:

Where: rate is the discount rate, DSM is the number of days between settlement and maturity, computed according to the 360-day year basis. The actual date difference function used is dateDiff360, in dd_USA mode.

main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
  int settDate=Units::Date::date(1999, 3, 31);
  int maturityDate=Units::Date::date(1999, 6, 1);
 
  double yield=Finance::Banking::billBondEquiv(settDate,
                                               maturityDate,
                                               0.0914);
  int y, m, d;

  Units::Date::dateYMD(settDate, y, m, d);
  printf("settlement=%i/%i/%i\n", y, m, d);

  Units::Date::dateYMD(maturityDate, y, m, d);
  printf("maturity=%i/%i/%i\n", y, m, d);

  printf("bond equivalent yield=%f\n", yield);
 
  exit(EXIT_SUCCESS);
}

Output:

settlement=1999/3/31
maturity=1999/6/1
bond equivalent yield=0.094151
