单选题 Jane Acompora is calculating equivalent annualized yields based on the 1.3% holding period yield of a 90 - day loan. The correct ordering of the equivalent annual money market yield MMY), effective annual yield ( EAY), and bond equivalent yield (BEY) is:

A. MMY ＜ EAY ＜ BEY.
B. MMY ＜ BEY ＜ EAY.
C. BEY ＜ MMY ＜ EAY.

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】No calculations are really necessary here since the MMY involves no compounding and a 360 - day year, the BEY requires compounding the quarterly HPR to a semiannual rate and doubling that rate, and the EAY requires compounding for the entire year based on a 365 - day year. A numerical example of these calculations based on a 90 - day holding period yield of 1.3% is: the equivalent money market yield is 1.3% x 360/90 = 5.20% , the bond equivalent yield is 2×[*], which is two times the equivalent effective semiannual rate of return, and the effective annual yield is [*]. Calculating the semiannual effective yield using 180 days instead of 182.5 does not change the order.
