If you bought a T-bill for $99.44 and held it for 180 days, what would be your return?

  about 1.14%

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming you can redeem the T-bill for $100 at the end of the period, the interest rate can be found from the formula for simple interest:

  I = Prt . . . . where P is the principal invested, r is the annual rate, and t is the number of years.

Here, we have ...

  (100 -99.44) = 99.44·r·(180/365) . . . . held for a fraction of a year

  0.56×365/(99.44×180) = r ≈ 0.0114195 ≈ 1.14% . . . . divide by the coefficient of r

Your return would be about 1.14%.

40 x 50 = 2000
