| thekapila | I love this kinda financing... |
| chris12345 | I love finance |
| Saxonomy | Watch another bank by it from BNY on behalf of the brothers. |
| mfm102 | PV = -1,000,000 FV = 1,000,250 N = 2 CPT I/Y = 0.012499 * 360 = 4.4997 % = 4.5 % |
| abs013 | Why is it 360? |
| khalifa92 | money market yield |
| thevinu | @abs013 because the given interest is calculated for an year(360 days) and then you break it down to 2 days. |
I passed! I did not get a chance to tell you before the exam - but your site was excellent. I will definitely take it next year for Level II.
