Answer:
$1,375
Explanation:
The computation of the dealer's gross trading profit for this security is shown below:
= (Ask price of the bond - Bid price of the bond)× (number of bonds traded in that day)
= ($1003.25 - $1,000.50) × (500 bonds)
= $2.75 × 500 bonds
= $1,375
Basically we take the difference and then multiplied it by the number of bonds traded
