A bond is selling for 101. It matures in 3 months and pays a coupon of 2 at maturity (in addition to the face of 100). The effective annual yield is closest to: 1.00% 2.50% 4.00%

For the effective annual yield, you annualize the holding period yield: HPY = (P1 – P0 + D1) / P0 = (100 – 101 + 2) / 101 = 0.99% EAY = (1 + HPY)^4 – 1 = 4.02%
