document.write( "Question 1014126: A T-bill is a type of bond that is sold at a discount over the face value. For example, suppose you buy a 26-week T-bill with a face value of $8,000 for $7,700. That means that in 26 weeks (half a year), the government will give you the face value, earning you $300. What annual interest rate have you earned?\r

you earned 300 in half a year.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "that's an interest rate of 300/7700 = .038961039 for a half a year.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "multiply that by 2 to get a nominal interest rate of 2 * .038961039 = .0779220779 per year.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "multiply that by 100 to get an interest rate of 7.79220779% per year.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "round that to a tenth of a percent to get 7.8% per year.\r
