ANSWER DOWN BELOW. FEEL FREE TO ASK ANY DOUBTS. THUMBS UP PLEASE.
U.S. Treasury bonds show an ask price of 101.78 and a bid price of 101.49.
If a person wants to buy a bond at a market price then he had to buy it at ask price of 101.78
Dollar price expected to pay is at the rate of 101.78
If we assume a face value of $1000 then can expect to pay = 101.78*10 = $1017.8
Answer: $1017.8
