T-bill= Annualized yield on the T-bill PF = Price (face value) paid to the T-bill holder PO = Purchase price of the T-bill h = Number of days until the T-bill matures Example: i. T-bill(dy) = $10, 000 - $9, 905. 71 360 = 2. 19% $10, 000 155 Mc. Graw-Hill /Irwin 14 Copyright © 2007 by The Mc. Graw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.
