    None of these choices are correct.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The quoted value of 99.875, means that this bond is sold at 99.875% of the face value and not at a price of $99.875.

    Therefore, calculate price;

    Price = 0.99875 * 1000

    Price = $998.75

    Since brokerage fees is 5.5% of the selling price, Leona will pay additional cost to the quoted price making the total cost to be more than $998.75;

    Brokerage fees = (0.055*998.75) = $54.93

    Total cost = $998.75 + $54.93

    = $1053.68

    Therefore, none of the choices is correct.
