a t bill that matures 90 days has a discount rate of 4.86. if the bill has a 10000 face value, the price of this bill is
Bond face value |
10,000.00 |
Annual Discount rate |
4.86% |
Maturity |
90 |
Discount rate for 90 days maturity ---> (Annual Discount rate x 90)/365 |
1.20% |
Price of discount bond = Present value of discount bond |
Present value of discount bond = Bond face value x (1/(1+90 day discount rate)^1 |
Present value of discount bond = 10000 x (1/(1+1.20%)^1 |
Present value of discount bond = 10000 x 0.9882 |
Present value of discount bond = $ 9,881.58 |
Therefore price of the discount bond is $ 9,881.58 |
