答案和详解如下： 6、A Treasury bill (T-bill) with a face value of $10,000 and 44 days until maturity has a holding period yield of 1.1247 percent. Which of the following is closest to the effective annual yield on the T-bill? A) 12.47%. B) 1.27%. C) 8.76%. D) 9.72%. The correct answer was The formula for the effective annual yield is: ((1 + HPY)365/t) –1. therefore, the EAY is: ((1.011247)(365/44)) – 1= 0.0972, or 9.72% 7、A Treasury bill (T-bill) with a face value of $10,000 and 219 days until maturity is selling for 97.375 percent of face value.

Therefore, the HPY is: ($10,000 – $9,737.50)/($9,737.50) = 0.0270 = 2.70%. Alternatively (100 / 97.375) - 1 = 0.02696. 8、A T-bill with a face value of $100,000 and 140 days until maturity is selling for $98,000. What is the bank discount yield? A) 5.14%. B) 4.18%. C) 5.41%.
