Suppose a security pays $100 in 6 months, and is currently trading at $96.99. What is the annual percentage rate on this security?
Round your answer to 4 decimal places. For example if your answer is 3.205%, then please write down 0.0321.
Expected Future Payout = $ 100, Tenure = 6 months and Current Price = $ 96.99
Let the 6-month rate be R
Therefore, 96.99 = 100 / (1+R)
R = (100 / 96.99) - 1 = 0.03103
Annual Percentage Rate (APR) = 2 x R = 2 x 0.03103 = 0.062068 ~ 0.06207
