A sterling T-bill with £10,000,000 face value is issued for 91 days and will be redeemed on maturity at £10,000,000. Suppose the 3-month yield at the time of issue is 5.25%. What is the price of the bill at issue ?
Yield = (Discount value/Bond price)*(365/number of days to maturity) | |
So, 0.0525 = (DV/Price)*365/91 | |
0.0525*91/365 = DV/Price = 1.31% | 1.31% |
0.0131 = DV/(10000000-DV) | |
10000000*0.0131 = DV+0.0131DV | |
DV = 10000000*0.0131/1.0131 | $ 1,29,306 |
Price of the bond on issue = 10000000-129306 = | $ 98,70,694 |
