As near as I can tell, your use of the Nernst equation looks correct. I cannot say where your professor is getting the E0 of 1.05 for the Mn half reaction. In an old text, I found an E0 for a Mn(CN) complex that is 1.05 -- is it possible that he/she accidentally pulled the wrong value from his/her table of standard reduction potentials? Can you approach the professor or an assistant or someone to ask where that comes from?
The point of the exercise is to demonstrate how well you can use the Nernst equation -- including looking up reduction potentials in a table. I would suggest that you use the values you believe to be correct, document where the values are coming from, and proceed to compute the voltage from the Nernst equation. If you cannot approach the professor before submitting the test/assignment, I would suggest that you pick what you believe is the correct answer, document you work to show why you think it is correct, and then see what feedback you get.

Hi,
Lange's Chemistry Handbook : -1.17 V at 25C for Mn2+/Mn half reaction.
