Question: 1 / 400

How is the T-bill yield calculated?

Term x 100

(100-Price)/Price

The other options are incorrect for a number of reasons. Option A does not take into account the price of the T-bill, Option C calculates the yield on a 365-day basis whereas most T-bills have 360-day terms, and Option D does not consider the time value of money as it only looks at the current market price and annual interest amount. Option B is the correct formula as it takes into consideration the price and yield of the T-bill. It is calculated by subtracting the T-bill's price from its face value, then dividing that by the price and multiplying by 100. This gives the percentage return on the T-bill.
