1. A three-month Treasury bill and a six-month bill both sell at a discount of 10%. Which offers the higher annual yield?
2. In Section 30-4 we described a three-month bill that was issued on an annually compounded yield of 5.18%. Suppose that one month has passed and the investment still offers the same annually compounded return. What is the percentage discount? What was your return over the month?
3. Look again at Suppose another month has passed, so the bill has only one month left to run. It is now selling at a discount of 3%. What is the yield? What was your realized return over the two months?
