A T-bill with face value $10,000 and 88 days to maturity is
selling at a bank discount ask yield of 3.5%.
a. What is the price of the bill? (Use 360
days a year. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your
answer to 2 decimal places.)
b. What is its bond equivalent yield? (Use
365 days a year. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your
answer to 2 decimal places.)
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%
