单选题 An investor has just purchased a Treasury bill for $ 99400. If the security matures in 40 days and has a holding period yield of 0.604 percent, what is its money market yield?

A、

A. 5.512%.
B、

B. 5.436%.
C、

C. 5.650%.

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】The money market yield is the annualized yield on the basis of a 360-day year and does not take into account the effect of compounding. The money market yield=(holding period yield)× (360/number of days until maturity)=(0.604%)×(360/40)=5.436%.
