Respuesta :

Answer:

A

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we use a mathematical formula.

The Price = face value * [1 - (Ask * days/360)]

Here, face value = $10,000 , Ask = 5.17% , days = 90

Price = 10,000 * [1 - 5.17/100 * 90/360]

Price = 10,000[1-(0.0517*0.25)]

Price = 10,000(1-0.012925)

Price = 10,000(0.987075)

Price = $9870.75
