How is a stocks price calculated with a spread?


Say I have a $10 stock with a bid of $9.90 and an ask of $10.10. My intuition says the price should be be $10, but my broker tells me the price is $10.05. What gives? How is this calculated? Is the higher valuation an indication there are more buyers at the lower bid price?
