Return Value

A double which specifies the price per $100 face value of a security that pays interest at maturity.

Remarks

It is computed using the following:

{{{100 + \left( {{{\it DIM} \over B} \times rate \times 100} \right)} \over {1 + \left( {{{\it DSM} \over B} \times {\it yield}} \right)}}} - {{A \over B} \times {\it rate} \times 100}
In the equation above, B represents the number of days in a year based on the annual basis. {\it DSM} represents the number of days in the period starting with the settlement date and ending with the maturity date. {\it DIM} represents the number of days in the period starting with the issue date and ending with the maturity date. A represents the number of days in the period starting with the issue date and ending with the settlement date.
