Respuesta :

The 90-day T-bill with a quoted yield of 1.5% offers a better return than the 180-day CD with a quoted yield of 1.6%.

What is a better return?

Comparatively, we need to annualize the returns to determine the security that offers the better return.

The 90-day T-bill with a quoted yield of 1.5% is compared with the 180-day CD with a quoted yield of 1.6% annually.

Data and Calculations:

                                   Treasury Bill        Certificate of Deposits

Investment costs         $10 million                 $10 million

Quoted yield per 90 days 1.5%

Quoted yield per 180 days                              1.6%

Annualized yield =      $600,000                   $320,000

  ($10,000,000 x 1.5%) x 360/90     ($10,000,000 x 1.6%) x 360/180

Thus, the 90-day T-bill with a quoted yield of 1.5% offers a better return than the 180-day CD with a quoted yield of 1.6%.
