Here's how to calculate the purchase price of the T-bill:
1. **Calculate the interest earned on the T-bill:**
* Interest = Maturity Value * Annual Interest Rate * (Days to Maturity / Days in Year)
* Interest = $1,119 * 0.04627 * (50 / 360)
* Interest ≈ $7.19
2. **Calculate the purchase price:**
* Purchase Price = Maturity Value - Interest
* Purchase Price = $1,119 - $7.19
* Purchase Price ≈ $1,111.81
Therefore, the purchase price of the 50-day T-bill is approximately $\boxed{1111.81}$.
