Example: Arbitrage Yield for Deep Discount Term Bonds with Insurance

Assumptions:

     A term bond:
       Dated Date          1/1/1994
       Delivery Date       1/1/1994
       Maturity Date       1/1/2004
       Interest Rate         6.000%
       Price                 97.000
       Yield                  6.411%
       Insurance   0.5% of total D/S

 Sinking Fund	Par Amount	Total D/S	Insurance Cost
   1/1/2003	  1,000,000	    1,540,000	       7,700
   1/1/2004	  1,000,000	    1,600,000	       8,000

Method for computing PV rate used for sinking fund adjustment calculation: Apply the entire insurance cost to the entire term bond and compute as though all sinking funds were left to maturity. Thus the PV rate is calculated using the cash flow of 2,000,000 maturing on 1/1/2004 with a target of (2,000,000 - 60,000 - 15,700) = 1,924,300. This results in a PV rate of 6.5211601%.
