Solution

a). To find the answer, we need to put the following values in the financial calculator:

INPUT 23x2=46 3.991/2=1.9955   (6.153%/2)x1000=30.765 1000
TVM N I/Y PV PMT FV
OUTPUT     -1323.42    

So, the ask price = $1,323.42

(NOTE: Try with 1323.33 if above comes incorrect due to rounding)

b). Bid price = $1,323.42 - [(.0647/100)($1,000)]

= $1,323.42 - $0.647 = $1,322.78

(NOTE: Try with 1323.69 if above comes incorrect due to rounding)
