Answer 1

Answer:

Ask Price,2023T-Bond=$10,801.20

Bid Price,2016T-note=$10,003.91

Step-by-step explanation:

Asking Price is obtained by multiplying the ask price by face value then dividing everything by 100:-

$Asking Price=\frac{Ask \ rate}{100}*Face \ Value\\=\frac{108.0120}{100}*10000\\=10801.20$

Bid Price is obtained my multyplying bid rate by face value then dividing everything by 100:-

$Bid \ Price=\frac{Bid \ Rate}{100}*Face \ Value\\=\frac{100.0391}{100}*10000\\=10003.91$
