    Price = $98,657.05

    bond equivalent yield = 5.52%

    Explanation:

    Number of days between May 18 to August 21 = 95 days

    Interest rate for 95 days = 5.23% * (95 / 365)

    = 5.23% * 0.26

    = 1.36%

    Interest rate for 95 days is 1.36%.

    Price of treasury bond = $100,000 / (1 + 1.36%)

    = $98,657.05.

    Price of treasury bond is 98,657.05.

    b.

    Bond equivalent yield = 1 / (1 - 5.23%) - 1

    = 1.0552 - 1

    = 5.52%

    Bond equivalent yield is 5.52%.
