As a
cryptocurrency and finance practitioner, I'm curious about bond pricing. Could you clarify what the selling price in dollars would be if a $1,000 bond is selling for 97? Is this indicating a discount of 3% from the face value? If so, does this mean the selling price is $970? Or is there a different calculation involved when bonds are priced below their face value? Clarifying this pricing mechanism would help me better understand the bond market and its implications for investors.

A bond with a face value of $1,000 is currently trading at a quoted price of 97.

The result of this multiplication is $970, which represents the current selling price of the bond.

It is important to note that the selling price is not the same as the face value.

This quoted price indicates that the bond is selling for a percentage of its original face value.

The face value remains at $1,000, while the selling price fluctuates based on market conditions.
