Bond equivalent

It's different in Corporate finance

HPY x 365/t

So it means that we calculate in differently in exam ? Different calculation in CF section and different in quant section ?

No but you don't need to find the BEY to solve those problems

I thought that when a bond yield was mentioned, say 6.3% semiannually, that WAS the BEY.....

Yes, calculate differently.

Remeber BEY is only the annualized version of HPY

To understand BEY better...the explaintion inFixed income books is the best...
Most US govt bonds pay semi annual coupon.....say 6.3%...so if you want the BEYwould be the coupon payment compunded 6 monthly will be
=[(1+0.063)^0.5 -1]*2
=6.2%

it is always less than the EAY(6.3%)
