Homework Answers

Answer #1

a). Face Value = $10,000

calculating the Price of bill:-

Price = Face Value*[1-(Discount Yield*No of days/360 days)]

Price = $10,000*[1-(0.035*88/360)]

Price = $9914.44

b). Bond discount yield = [(Face Value - Price)/Face Value]*365/no of days

=[($10,000 - $9914.44)/$10,000]*365/88

Bond discount yield = 3.55%
