Respuesta :

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

For three months

Simple yield is

= Discount ÷ Price at sale

= 6.07 ÷ 9993.93

= 0.0607%

And, the annualized yield is

= 0.0607% ÷ 3 × 12

= 0.2428%

For 6 months

= Discount ÷ Price at sale

= 23.07 ÷ 9976.74

= 0.2312%

And, the annualized yield is

= 0.2312% ÷ 6 × 12

= 0.4625%
