Interest rates on bills are quoted in terms o f bank discount, with the return related to the face amount of the bills payable at maturity rather than the amount invested, and their length in actual number of days related to a 360-day year. In contrast, yields on certificates, notes, and bonds are computed in terms of interest on the amount invested, and relate the number of days remain ing in an interest payment period to the actual number o f days in the period, with semiannual compounding if more than one coupon period is involved.
