Average rate of return or yield on 180-day Government of Canada treasury bills sold on June 18, 2013 was 1.04%. The client sold the $50 000 T-bill after 39 days. What rate of return (per annum) did the client realize while holding the T-bill, if the short term interest for this maturity had risen to 1.13% by the date of sale?

Present value of $50,000 discounted at 1.04% for 180 days =   
= $49 744.87
Days remaining to maturity = 180-39 = 141 days
Selling price =   = $49 782.69
Effective interest on initial investment = $49 782.69 - $49 744.87 = $37.82
Rate of return =   =   = 0.00712 = 0.712%
