Is the face value of Treasury Bonds always $1000? What about T - bills (zero coupon) and corporate bonds? If a U.S. Treasury bond is quoted at 92-16, the price of the bond is: A) $92.50. B) $925.00. C) $92.16. Your answer: A was incorrect. The correct answer was B) $925.00. 92 − 16 = 92 16/32 = 92.5% of par value 0.925 × $1,000 = $925
