(B) The “bid” and “ask” yields for a 100- day US Treasury Bill were quoted by a bond dealer as 5.91% and 5.89%, respectively. The face value of this US Treasury Bill is $100,000. Shouldn’t the “bid yield” be less than the “ask yield”, because the “bid yield” indicates how much the dealer is willing to pay and the “ask yield” is what the dealer is willing to sell the Treasury bill for? Please explain your view on this with an illustration of calculation.
