what is the bank discount rate on a $100,000 face value t-bill priced at $97,500, maturing in 181 days?

1 answer:

6 0

In this instance, the answer is 4.97%. When Bank discount rate is $100,000.The bank discount rate is calculated as follows: face value - price /face value * 360/days to maturity

the formula for determining the bank rate of return is as follows

When we apply relevant information to the equation, we receive:

Bank discount rate = 100,000 97,500/ 100,000 *360/ 181 = 0.0497 = 4.97

Why is the bank discount generate not a realistic assessment of the refund on holding a Treasury bonds?

Because it is an annual rate rate of return based on the par value of the bills rather than the actual dollar amount of money invested, and it is calculated on a 360-day rather than a 365-day basis, the Discount Yield can be a misleading measure of the return on T-Bills (used for Treasury bonds and notes).

Bank A quotes a bid rate of $0.300 and an ask rate of $0.305 for the Malaysian ringgit (MYR). Bank B quotes a bid rate of $0.306

Artemon [7]

Answer: $1639.3

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Bank A quotes a bid rate of $0.300 and an ask rate of $0.305 for the Malaysian ringgit (MYR) and that bank B quotes a bid rate of $0.306 and an ask rate of $0.310 for the ringgit.

The profit for an investor that has $500,000 available to conduct locational arbitrage goes thus:

Purchasing Malaysian ringgit (MYR) from bank A at the ask rate will be:

= $500,000/$0.305

= 1,639,344.3

Selling the Malaysian ringgit (MYR) at bank B based on the ask rate will be:

= 1,639,344.3 × 0.306

= $501,639.3

The profit for an investor that has $500,000 available to conduct locational arbitrage will be:

= $501,639.3 - $500,000

= $1639.3

Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

b. $4,908,000

Explanation:

According to the FASB GAAP, the straight line method is used in this given question which is shown below:

= (Original cost - residual value) ÷ (useful life)

= ($40,900,000 - $4,090,000) ÷ (15 years)

= ($36,810,000) ÷ (15 years)

= $2,454,000

In this method, the depreciation is same for all the remaining useful life

For two years, the accumulated depreciation would be

= Annual year depreciation × number of years

= $2,454,000 × 2 years

= $4,908,000
