Goon · Answer 1

A bond quote (100.611) is the last price bond is traded at. A bond quote is the percentage of a face value.

In this case, the bond quote is 110.611 which means that bond is traded at 110.611% of its face value.

If Sean wants to buy 3 bonds he needs to pay:

3*1000*110.611/100=$ 3318.33
