| johntan1979 | To be more accurate: $100,060,014 |
| Fabulous1 | Actually not. The price is exactly like stated in the answer as 5.4 % can be divided by 90 days... |
| Inaganti6 | Damn someone disagreed with. JohnTan |
| khalifa92 | true its exactly 100,060,000. |
| sshetty2 | why Are we using a 360 day yr here? |
| unknown | Always use 360 days for Repo. |
| UcheSam | It is better to use the Repurchase Rate formula than the present value approach as it produces exact answer e.g 100,060,000; also, given the proximity of the options at times. |
I just wanted to share the good news that I passed CFA Level I!!! Thank you for your help - I think the online question bank helped cut the clutter and made a positive difference.
