Scenario

Be aware that regardless of the Amortization Method you select (excluding None), Eagle Accounting amortizes to the target redemption price. For example, if you amortize the following scenario from Settlement Date to Maturity Date, each amortization method reaches 100,000 in total amortization, so there is no gain/loss at time of maturity. The difference between the methods is how they reach 100,000.

    Note that the CY1, CY2, LY1, and LY2 methods have the same period-to-date values calculated; this . This occurs because:

    1. In the prior scenario, there is no traded interest. Constant Yield amortization takes traded interest into account when applying amortization, but if you apply Level Yield amortization, it does not take traded interest into account.
    2. Constant Yield 1 and Constant Yield 2 always calculate to the same period-to-date values, but they apply different methodology to derive the daily delta.
    3. Level Yield 1 and Level Yield 2 calculate the same period-to-date information when you purchase the security with full coupon periods.

    Scenario for Accrued Interest

    If there was accrued interest in a scenario, there would be different values calculated for CY1, CY2, LY1, and LY2:
