A bank is able to issue a $500,000 worth of a 90-day commercial paper with a 2% discount yield and an equivalent size and risk 90-day certificate of deposit with a 3% single payment yield today. Prices of securities are quoted assuming no arbitrage, and hence the present value of all future cash flows for the securities are equivalent to their corresponding prices. The bank is considering the issuance of either the commercial paper or the certificate of deposit to replicate the effective-annual return (interest rate) of a zero-coupon bond currently included in the bank's portfolio. This bond is currently quoted in the market at $910.55 and matures in three years. The bond has the standard par value (face value) of $1,000 and a yield to maturity of 3.173%. Which security should the bank issue to replicate the effective-annual return of the zero-coupon bond? o Issue commercial paper Issue certificate of deposit
