First you need to calculate the bank-discount yield (2500/100000)*(360*200) = 0.045 Then you plug this into the money market yield formula: [360*d]/[360-t*d] where d is the bank discount yield, and t is the time left until maturity = [360*0.045]/[360-200*0.045] =0.04615 = 4.615%

I find cramming the forumla pretty difficult. MMY = (2.5k/97.5k)*(360/200) S
