Explanation / Answer

This formula works for most problems where maturity is over 182 days. Here number of days to maturity is n= 3652 days.

BEY = [(-2n/365) + 2* [(n/365)2 + (2n/365 - 1) * (n * Yield / (360 - (n*yield)))]0.5]/ (2n/365 -1)

= [(-2*3652/365) + 2* [(3652/365)2 + ( 2*3652/365 - 1 ) * (3652 * 0.058 / (360 - (3652*0.058)))]0.5]/ (2*3652/365 -1)

= [-2* 10.00547945 + 2* [ 100.1096 + (19.0109589 * ( 211.816 / (360 - (211.816))))]0.5]/ 19.0109589

=[-2 * 10.00547945 + 2* [ 100.1096 + ( 19.0109589 * 1.4294)]0.5]/ 19.0109589

=[-2 * 10.00547945 + 2* 11.27716695]/ 19.0109589 = 0.1342958 = 13.43%
