Calculating Fractional Values. When given a fractional value that must be entered in decimal form, do the arithmetic and then store the result directly into a variable. Do not clear the arithmetic and then retype the result before storing it―this is an unnecessary step that can cause incorrect answers due to rounding. See how the following example stores 83/8 in YLD%.

Example: Price and Yield of a Bond. What price should you pay on August 10, 2003 for a 6¾% U.S. Treasury bond that matures on May 1, 2018 if you wish a yield of 83/8%? The calendar basis is actual/actual and the coupon payments are semi-annual. (The example assumes MM.DDYYYY date format.)
