  10. Auction • Non-competitive Bidding ($1,000,000 or less)  Direct purchase from Federal Reserve Banks  Indirect purchase through brokers

  11. Competitive Bidding Amount (in bil.)Bid Remark $0.20 7.55% lowest yield,/highest price 0.26 7.56 0.33 7.57 0.57 7.58 average yield/ average price 0.79 7.59 0.96 7.60 1.25 7.61 1.52 7.62 stop yield/ stop price

  13. Government Brokers Brokers used by primary dealers trading Treasury securities with each other. • Other Dealers and Brokers

  14. T-Bill Rate (T-Bill Discount, or Yield on a Bank Discount Basis) T-bill Rate = [(par - PP) / par]  (360 / n) = [dollar discount/ par]  (360 / n), where par = par value, PP = purchase price, and n = holding period in days.

  15. Example: par = $100,000, PP = $97,569, and n = 100 days. Yield = [($100,000- $97,569)/ $100,000]  (360 / 100) = 8.75%.

  16. Dollar Discount Dollar Discount = T-bill Rate  par (n /360)

  17. Example: T-bill Rate = 8.75%, par = $100,000, and n = 100 days. Dollar Discount = 0.0875$100,000(100/360) = $2,431. Purchase price = par value - dollar discount = $100,000 - $2,431 = $97,569.

  18. Yield T-bill Yield = [(SP - PP) / PP]  (365 / n), where SP = selling price, PP = purchase price, and n = holding period in days.

  19. Example: SP = $10,000, PP = $9,600, and n = 182 days. Yield = [($10,000 - $9,600)/ $9,600](365 / 182) = 8.36%

  26. Yield Yield = [(par - PP) / PP]  (360 / n), where par = par value, PP = purchase price, and n = holding period in days.

  27. Example: par = $5,000,000, PP = $4,850,000, and n = 90 days. Yield = [($5,000,000 - $4,850,000) / $4,850,000]  (360 / 90) = 12.37%
