If you purchase $27,000 in U.S. Treasury Bills with a discount rate of 4.2% for a period of 26 weeks, what is the effective interest rate? Round to the nearest hundredth percent. Step 1 The effective interest rate on a U.S. Treasury Bill, or T-Bill, is the actual interest rate on a loan to the government and takes into account the fact that the purchaser does not pay the full amount of the T-Bill. It is calculated using the interest, purchase price, and time. The amount of interest on a T-Bill is calculated as follows where the discount rate is given as a decimal and the time will be a fraction whose numerator is the given amount of time in weeks and denominator is 52 weeks. interest = face value ✕ discount rate ✕ time The rate was given to be 4.2%. As a decimal, we have 4.2% = . Calculate the interest (in $) for a $27,000 T-Bill with a discount of 4.2% for 26 weeks. interest = face value ✕ discount rate ✕ time in weeks 52 weeks = $27,000 ✕ ✕ 26…

The purpose of the FRA is to cover the interest rate risk caused by the maturity mismatch from having made a six-month Eurodollar loan and having accepted a three-month Eurodollar deposit. The agreement rate with the buyer is 4.6%. There are actually 92 days in the three-month FRA period. Assume 360 days a year, which one of the following statements is incorrect?

Without the FRA, the bank will lose if the market interest rate…
