Based on the yields to the Canadian government's T-bills, the purchase price of a $100,000 T-bill on each of these dates are:

  • May 24, 2000  = $98,565
  • February 26, 2010 = $99,960

The yield to the investor in 2010 more than 2000 was $1,395.

What was the price of the T-Bills?

On May 24, 2000, the price was:

= 100,000 x ( 1 - 5.74% x 90/360 days)

= $98,565

On February 26, 2010, the price was:

= 100,000 x (1 - 0.16% x 90/360)

= $99,960

The difference in yield is:

= (100,000 - 98,565) - (100,000 - 99,960)

= $1,395
