Answer:
"An NMS stock is current quoted at $16.10 Bid - $16.30 Ask. A customer wishes to place an order to buy 1,000 shares of the stock at $16.111. The registered representative should:"
buy the 1,000 shares of NMS stock when the price is $16.111 or below.
Explanation:
This order by the customer is a limit order. It indicates the price at which the registered representative should buy the stock of NMS. A limit order means that the order can only be filled at the specific price or better (below the limit). It is not like a stop order which triggers at the specified price and will then be filled at the prevailing market price, whether it is below or above the stated price.
