Answer:

The value of Treasury bond in dollars = $1,069.38

The value of Corporate bond in dollars = $962.50

The value of Municipal bond in dollars = $5,032.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Treasury bond quoted at 106:30

corporate bond quoted at 96.25

municipal bond quoted at 100.65

Treasury bonds have a par value = $1,000

corporate bonds have a par value = $1,000

municipal bond has a par value = $5,000

Now,

The value of Treasury bond in dollars = [tex](106+\frac{30}{32})\%[/tex] × $1,000

= 106.9375% × $1,000

= $1,069.38

The value of Corporate bond in dollars = 96.25% × $1,000

= 0.9625 × $1,000

= $962.50

The value of Municipal bond in dollars = 100.65% × $5,000

= 1.0065 × $5,000

= $5,032.50
