[sharechat] Capital Notes & yeild

From:	"Peter Hargraves" <peter@qcgroup.co.nz>

Title: Memo

Can someone help me with the calculation of the return or yield from a capital notes purchase?

Details:

Face value $30,000 at 8.5% yield.

Total purchase cost is $30,351.70

Advised this includes $103.94 accrued interest plus $248.68 brokerage at a "net return" of 8.37%

No way can I make these figures add up.

If I subtract the accrued interest & the brokerage I get $29,998.64 paid for a note that has a face value of $30,000 at 8.5%. Surely my return is greater than 8.5%??

How does this work?What am I missing?

Regards

Peter H.
