Excuse me, I'm a bit confused about the pricing of treasury bills. Could you please clarify for me? When someone asks "How much does a $10,000 treasury bill cost?", is it implying that the treasury bill is being sold at face value, or could the price vary depending on market conditions? If the latter, what factors would typically influence the price of a treasury bill, and how would one go about determining the current price of a $10,000 treasury bill? Thank you for your time and assistance.

The discount rate of 3% means that the investor pays less than the face value of the T-bill. Specifically, the investor pays $9,700 upfront for the $10,000 T-bill.

A T-bill is a short-term debt obligation issued by the government. It's a secure investment that offers investors a fixed interest rate.

This difference in the payment and face value represents the interest earned by the investor. Over the 52-week period, the investor's $9,700 grows to $10,000.
