BDY d = (1-p) *360/T

now, tell me how to convert BDY to BEY

would it be something like BEY = [(1+BDY/360)^(365/2) -1] x 2 ??

I think the conversion should be like that: BDY= D/F*360/t Semiannual effective rate=(1+BDY)^1/2 - 1 BEY=2*Semiannual effective rate Am I correct?

What is p? D: Discount F: Face Value t: Time to maturity

p is the price of the bond quoted in % of face value.
