Answer:

$318

Explanation:

The treasury bond is $10,000

The current yield is 3%

= 3/100

=0.03

It is quoted at 106 points

The first step is to calculate the price of the bond

Price of the bond= $10,000×106/100

= $10,000×1.06

= $10,600

Therefore the annual interest can be calculated as follows

Annual interest= $10,600×0.03

= $318

Hence the annual interest is $318
