    discount yield=7.17%

    bond equivalent yield=7.34%

    effective annual yield = 7.64%

    Explanation:

    Discount yield = discount / face value*360/t

    where t is the number of days to maturity

    discount = face value - issue price

    discount=100-97.63

    discount=2.37

    discount yield = 2.37/100*360/119

    discount yield=7.17%

    bond equivalent yield = (1+periodic yield) ^360/t-1

    periodic yield = discount/face value=2.37/100=2.37%

    bond equivalent yield = (1+2.37%) ^ (360/119) - 1

    bond equivalent yield=7.34%

    effective annual yield = (1+HPY) ^365/t-1

    Holding period yield (HPY) = discount/price=2.37/97.63

    HPY=2.43%

    effective annual yield = (1+2.43%) ^ (365/119) - 1

    effective annual yield = 7.64%
