What is the price of a U.S. Treasury bill with 87 days to maturity quoted at a discount yield of 2.15 percent? Assume a $1 million face value. (Enter your answer in dollars not in millions. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Discount yield= { [Face value -purchase cost]/purchase cost}*365/n
.0215 = {[1,000,000- P]/P}*365/87
.0215 *87/365 = {[1000000-P]/P
.005125 P = 1000000- P
.005125 P + P = 1000000
1.005125 P = 1000000
P = 1000000/1.005125
= $ 994,901.13
