Q: What is the formula for the valuation of a T-Bill?

#355528Post 548 of 1852

If a 90 day T-bill is priced at $9,800, then you pay that amount and, in 90 days, you will receive $10,000,

Q. Do you understand?

#355529Post 549 of 1852

I understand that.

Q:Calculate the price based on the "ask" quote of the following T-Bill: June 16 '05 180 2.42 2.41. Assume a face value of $10,000. Based on the calculated price, calculate the annualized HPR using a 365 day year. Can you tell me the formula I need to use since I missed class on the day that we covered Bills?

#355531Post 550 of 1852

= Dirty Pirate Hooker. Don't Touch It.

What is the discount yield for a 182-day T-bill, auctioned at an average price of $9,659.30 per $10,000 face value?

Discount yield = [(FV - PP)/FV] * [360/M]

FV = $10,000 PP = $9,659.30 M = 182

Discount yield = [(10,000) - (9,659.30)] / (10,000) * [360/182] Discount yield = [340.7 / 10,000] * [1.978022] Discount yield = .0673912 = 6.74%

For the 13-week bill, the same formula would be used, dividing 360 by a maturity of 91 days rather than 182 days.

The Investment Yield Method When comparing the return on investment in T-bills to other short-term investment options, the investment yield method can be used. This yield is alternatively called the bond equivalent yield, the coupon equivalent rate, the effective yield and the interest yield.

The following formula is used to calculate the investment yield for T-bills that have three- or six-month maturities:

Investment yield = [(FV - PP)/PP] * [365 or 366/M]

Example

What is the investment yield of a 182-day T-bill, auctioned at an average price of $9,659.30 per $10,000 face value?

Investment yield = [(FV - PP)/PP] * [365/M] FV = $10,000 PP = $9,659.30 M = 182

Investment yield = [(10,000 - 9,659.30) / (9,659.30)] * [365/182] Investment yield = [340.70] / 9,659.30] * [2.0054945] Investment yield = .0707372 = 7.07%

For the 13-week bill, the same formula can be used, dividing 365 (or 366) by a maturity of 91 days.

Yields on Treasury Notes and Bonds Treasury notes and bonds, fully-backed U.S. debt instruments with maturities of more than one year, pay the investor a fixed annual rate of return or coupon (paid semi-annually). The return on a Treasury note or bond is equal to its face value times the coupon interest rate.

Formulas used by Treasury to calculate the investment yield on notes and bonds are complicated and vary, depending on the maturity of the issue.

However, the investment yield on a bond or note held to maturity can be approximated with the following formula:

                        {R + [(FV - PP)/M]}

Investment yield= __________________ [(FV + PP)/2]

R = coupon rate FV = face value PP = purchase price M = years to maturity

Example

What is the investment yield of a seven-year Treasury note issued at a price of $99.709, with an annual Treasury announced coupon of 7 7/8, payable semi-annually?

R = 7 7/8 (7.875) FV = $100 PP = $99.709 M = 7

                    7.875 + [(100 - 99.709)/7]

Investment yield = ________________ (100 + 99.709)/2

Investment yield = (7.875 + .0415714) / (99.8545) Investment yield = 7.9165714 / 99.8545 Investment yield = .0792810 = 7.93%

Q. Are there any more questions for me?

#355534Post 551 of 1852

Yes. In the example you just stated, the ask price was quoted for you ($9,659.30). That is what I'm having trouble calculating.

Q: How is that determined via the ask price quoted in the WSJ of 2.42?

#355535Post 552 of 1852

Math does not lie.

Q. You want me to do it for you?

#355570Post 553 of 1852

Doesn't matter now, it wasn't one of the two debt security valuations we had to know for the quiz. I should be able to meet my prof for his office hours to figure it out before the exam next week. Thanks though.

How much is your rent

#355653Post 560 of 1852

$0. All I have to pay are utilities, for now anyway. The mortgage will be slightly higher, but 0% interest for 2 years, so that's good.
