Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

$956.88. The price of 95.22 means 95 and 22 / 32. One thirty-second of a $1,000 bond with a par of 100.00 is $0.3125. Twenty-two thirty-seconds is therefore about $6.88. The 95 is the percentage of one bond with a par value of $1,000. Multiplying 95% by $1,000 equals $950. Adding $6.88 plus $950 equals $956.88.
