ATreasurybill(Tbill)withafacevalueof$10,000and219daysuntilmaturityissellingfor97.375%offacevalue.WhichofthefollowingisclosesttotheholdingperiodyieldontheTbillifhelduntilmaturity?

2.81%.

2.70%.

2.63%.

Explanation

Theformulaforholdingperiodyieldis:(P P +D )/(P ),whereD foraTbilliszero(itdoesnothaveacoupon).Therefore,theHPYis:($10,000$9,737.50)/($9,737.50)=0.0270=2.70%.

Alternatively(100/97.375)1=0.02696.

Tocalculatethetimeweightedreturn:

Step1:Separatethetimeperiodsintoholdingperiodsandcalculatethereturnoverthatperiod:

Holdingperiod1:P =$50.00

D =$5.00

P =$75.00(frominformationonsecondstockpurchase)

HPR =(7550+5)/50=0.60,or60%

Holdingperiod2:P =$75.00

D =$7.50

P =$100.00

HPR =(10075+7.50)/75=0.433,or43.3%.

Step2:Usethegeometricmeantocalculatethereturnoverbothperiods

Return=[(1+HPR )(1+HPR )] 1=[(1.60)(1.433)] 1=0.5142,or51.4%.
