Yes, three different situations that I can think of: The 3-year and 10-year notes were issued on the same day, then the yield curve was inverted and short term rates were higher than long term rates. If the 3-year and 10-year notes were issued at different times, at the time the 3-year treasury note was issued, prevailing 3-year interest rates were higher than the 10-year rates at the time the 10-year was issued. If for some reason, the market vastly prefers 10-year terms over 3-year terms, and bids up the price of 10-year notes much higher than 3-year notes. This would depress the yield on 10-year notes, possibly below that of 3-year notes.
Which of the following is most correct?a. The yield on a 2 year corporate bond will always exceed the yield on a 2 year treasury bond.b. The yield on a 3 year corporate bond will always exceed the yield on a 2 year corporate bond.c. The yield on a 3 year treasury bond will always exceed the year on a 2 year treasury bond.d. All of the answers above are correct.e. Statements a and c are correct.
The yield on a 10-year bond would be less than that on a 1-year bill
To calculate the yield on a 3-month treasury bill, you divide the difference between the face value and the purchase price by the purchase price, and then multiply by 100 to get the percentage yield.
To calculate the yield on treasury bills, you can use the formula: Yield (Face Value - Purchase Price) / Purchase Price (365 / Days to Maturity). This formula takes into account the difference between the face value and purchase price of the treasury bill, the number of days to maturity, and the number of days in a year.
The yield of a bond is the interest that it pays (annualized) divided by the purchase price of the bond (taking into account any discount or premium on the price). Treasury yield refers to the actual interest rate on bonds issued by the U.S. Treasury. Treasury yield is not a single number, because they issue bonds with many different maturities (from 1 month to 30 years); the yields on the 2-year and 10-year bonds are the most commonly-quoted benchmarks.

To calculate the yield on a 3-month treasury bill, you divide the difference between the face value and the purchase price by the purchase price, and then multiply by 100 to get the percentage yield.
The root word of exceed is "cede" which means "to go, yield, or surrender".

If the yield curve is downward sloping, the yield to maturity on a 10-year Treasury coupon bond relative to that on a 1 year T-bond is the yield on the 10 year bond. It will be less than the yield on a 1-year bond.Ê
The current yield on the 10-year Treasury bond, based on data from the St. Louis Fed, is approximately 1.5.
