The Dollar Amount of Each Instrument describes which concept?

The main idea here is the price you pay for each monetary instrument—the cost of acquiring that instrument. The dollar amount per instrument describes the cost associated with purchasing that instrument, not how long it takes to settle, how often regulatory reports are filed, or who issues the instrument. Recognizing this helps you see how the value of each instrument relates to risk and monitoring; unusually large per-instrument purchases can trigger closer review or enhanced due diligence.
