Question: The time from acceptance to maturity on a $ 1 , 0 0 0 , 0 0 0 banker s acceptance is 1 2 0

The time from acceptance to maturity on a $1,000,000 bankers acceptance is 120 days. The importers banks acceptance commission is 1.75 percent and the market rate for 120-day B/As is 5.75 percent. What amount will the exporter receive if he holds the B/A until maturity? If he discounts the B/A with the importers bank? Also determine the bond equivalent yield the importers bank will earn from discounting the B/A with the exporter. If the exporters opportunity cost of capital is 11 percent, should he discount the B/A or hold it to maturity?
Note: Do not round intermediate calculations. Round "Maturity value" to 2 decimal places. Enter "Bond equivalent yield" as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.
