double billBondEquiv(int sett, int mat, double rate)

This function calculates the bond-equivalent yield for a treasury bill. It does so using the following equation:

$\frac{365.0*rate}{360-(rate*DSM)}$

(1)

Where: rate is the discount rate, DSM is the number of days between settlement and maturity, computed according to the 360-day year basis. The actual date difference function used is dateDiff360, in dd_USA mode.

#include <iostream>

#include <codecogs/units/date/date.h>
#include <codecogs/finance/banking/yearlyfreq.h>

int

{
  int settDate=Units::Date::date(1999, 3, 31);
  int maturityDate=Units::Date::date(1999, 6, 1);

  double yield=Finance::Banking::billBondEquiv(settDate,
                                               maturityDate,

  Units::Date::dateYMD(maturityDate, y, m, d);
  printf("maturity=%i/%i/%i\n", y, m, d);
  
  printf("bond equivalent yield=%f\n", yield);

  exit(EXIT_SUCCESS);
}

Output:

settlement=1999/3/31
maturity=1999/6/1
bond equivalent yield=0.094151
