Hey guys, I have an Actuarial test tomorrow, and the prof didn't give us an explicit formula for calculating the rate of return for a treasury bill. I *think* this is it, but I want to verify with anyone who knows this material:

Rate of Return = (Face Amount - Purchase Price) / Purchase Price

Then, to find the nominal annual rate of return, just multiply the rate of return by (365 / number of days for T-bill)

Is this correct? Thanks.
