money market yield derivation

Hi all,

I do not seem to understand how the following money market yields are derived:


1) Rmm = Rbd x (F/P)

where Rmm = money market rate
Rbd = bank discount rate
F = face value of the T-bill
P = initial purchase price

2) Rmm = (360 x Rbd)/(360 - (t x Rbd))

where Rmm = money market rate
Rbd = bank discount rate
t = days remaining to maturity

(both from CFAI pg 232 Vol 1)

Surely, Rmm is drived from Bank Discount Yield, Holding Period Yield, and Effective Annual Yield, but I cannot seem to figure it out. And I do not want to memorize the formula.

Can someone please help out by deriving Rmm from other yields mathematically?


Cheers.

Any takers?

Or is this something I should not worry about...
