T Bill Purchase Price
1. **State the problem:** We need to find the purchase price of a 50-day T-bill with a maturity value of 1367, an annual interest rate of 3.667%, assuming a 360-day year.
2. **Formula used:** The purchase price $P$ of a T-bill is given by the formula:
$$P = M \times \left(1 - r \times \frac{t}{360}\right)$$
where:
- $M$ is the maturity value,
- $r$ is the annual interest rate (as a decimal),
- $t$ is the number of days until maturity.
3. **Convert the interest rate to decimal:**
$$r = \frac{3.667}{100} = 0.03667$$
4. **Substitute the values into the formula:**
$$P = 1367 \times \left(1 - 0.03667 \times \frac{50}{360}\right)$$
5. **Calculate the fraction:**
$$\frac{50}{360} = 0.13889$$
6. **Calculate the interest portion:**
$$0.03667 \times 0.13889 = 0.00509$$
7. **Calculate the purchase price:**
$$P = 1367 \times (1 - 0.00509) = 1367 \times 0.99491 = 1359.08$$
**Final answer:** The purchase price is 1359.08 (rounded to two decimal places).
