Explanation / Answer

Problem 1A:

Immediate previous coupon date: Nov 20, 2016

Settlement date: Sep 30, 2017

Maturity date: Nov 20, 2030

Coupons are paid annually.

Time between coupon payments: T = 1 year

Time between Nov 20, 2016 and Sep 30, 2017: t = 314 days = 314/365 Years

t/T = 314/365

N = 14 years

FV = $100

PMT = $6

r = 6.05%

PV = (6/0.0605)*(1 - 1/1.0605^14) + 100/1.0605^14 = 99.536686

PV (Full) = 99.536686*1.0605^(314/365) = 104.695821

Price on settlement date = $104.70

Problem 1B:

t = 72 days = 72/365 year, T = 0.5 year

t/T = (72/365)/0.5 = 144/365

Accrued Interest: AI = PMT*(t/T) = 100*(0.0625/2)*(144/365) = $1.23

Problem 1C:

t = 50 days = 50/365 years, T = 0.5 years

t/T = 100/365

Accrued Interest: AI = PMT*(t/T) = 100*(0.055/2)*(100/365) = $0.75
