perp_py_ai (routine)

Calculates the bond dollar price, yield to maturity and accrued interest for perpetual bonds

Introduced in release: 1.0
Component: Generic
Purpose: Calculates either dollar price or yield to maturity, and accrued interest for a perpetual periodic interest payment security.

Special Considerations: You must provide this routine with a future coupon date so it can calculate the accrued interest.

Results: All results are calculated using the industry standard rules or generally accepted practices, accurate to as many places as supported by a double precision value. The variable calculated contains the calculated dollar price or yield to redemption. The variable ai contains the accrued interest per 100 of maturity value.

Error Conditions: Returned values should be ignored for a non-zero status. See Errors.
