4. Money Market Instruments Treasury bills Certificates of deposit Commercial Paper Bankers Acceptances Eurodollars Repurchase Agreements (RPs) and Reverse RPs Federal Funds

5. Money Market Instrument Yields Yields on Money Market Instruments are not always directly comparable Factors influencing yields Par value vs. investment value 360 vs. 365 days assumed in a year (366 leap year) Bond equivalent yield

6. r BD = bank discount rate P= market price of the T-bill n= number of days to maturity r BD = 10,000 - P x 360 n 90-day T-bill, P = $9,800 r BD = 10,000 - 9,800 10,000 x 360 90 =8% Example Bank Discount Rate (T-Bills)

7. Bond Equivalent Yield Can’t compare T-bill directly to bond - 360 vs 365 days - Return is figured on par vs. price paid Adjust the bank discounted rate to make it comparable

8. P = price of the T-bill n = number of days to maturity r BEY = 10,000 - P P x 365 n r BEY = 10,000 - 9,800 x 365 90 r BEY =.0204 x 4.0556 =.0828 = 8.28% Example Using Sample T-Bill Bond Equivalent Yield

14. Bond Indexes Lehman Brothers Merrill Lynch Salomon Brothers Specialized Indexes - Merrill Lynch Mortgage

15. Construction of Indexes How are stocks weighted? - Price weighted (DJIA) - Market-value weighted (S&P500, NASDAQ) - Equally weighted (Value Line Index) How returns are averaged? - Arithmetic (DJIA and S&P500) - Geometric (Value Line Index)

16. Averaging Methods Component Return A=10% B= (-5%) C = 20% Arithmetic Average [.10 + (-.05) +.2] / 3 = 8.33% Geometric Average [(1.1) (.95) (1.2)] 1/3 - 1 = 7.84%

17. Derivatives Securities Options Basic Positions - Call (Buy) - Put (Sell) Terms - Exercise Price - Expiration Date - Assets Futures Basic Positions - Long (Buy) - Short (Sell) Terms - Delivery Date - Assets
