Common pitfalls when using the YIELDMAT formula include entering in incorrect parameters, failing to adjust for credit factors associated with the bond, and overlooking market or interest rate changes when entering in the rate inputs.
Common mistakes when using the YIELDMAT Formula include incorrectly entering in the benchmark maturity rate or incorrectly entering in the redemption rate.
Common misconceptions people might have with the YIELDMAT Formula include believing that it can be used to forecast future yield changes or that it is used to calculate yields for equities rather than bonds.
