Suppose a trader is quoted a market bid price of $30.00 and an ask of $30.07. The execution price of a buy order is $30.04. What is the effective spread?

A)
$0.01.
B)$0.02.
C)$0.06.
D)$0.07.


Answer and Explanation

If a trader placed a buy order, a dealer may offer a better ask price than the previous ask to earn the traders business. The midquote of the quoted bid and ask prices is $30.035. The effective spread for this buy order would then be calculated as: 2 × ($30.04 - $30.035) = $0.01, which is 6 cents better than the quoted spread of $0.07 ($30.07 - $30.00).

A)
$0.04.
B)$0.02.
C)$0.01.
D)$0.03.


Answer and Explanation

If a trader placed a sell order, a dealer may offer a better bid price than the previous bid to earn the traders business. The midquote of the quoted bid and ask prices is $16.05. The effective spread for this sell order would then be calculated as: 2 × ($16.05 - $16.03) = $0.04, which is 6 cents better than the quoted spread of $0.10 ($16.10 - $16.00).
