Answer #1

Actual annual rate of return on the investment = [100/price - 1] * 365 / maturity days

   =[100/98.07 - 1] * 365 / 180

   =[1.01968 -1] * 365 / 180

   = 0.01968* 365 / 180

   = 3.99%

Note:-   Price of T-Bill = par value [1 - (discount rate * maturity days / 360)]

= $100 * [1 - (0.0386 * 180 / 360]

= $100 * [1 - 0.0193]

= 98.07
