Bubba is buying a Federal Home Loan Bank issue that is offered at 95.22. How much will he pay to purchase one bond?
  1. $95.22
  2. $951.63
  3. $952.20
  4. $956.88
Explanation
Answer: D - $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.
