On October 5, 2019, you purchase a $13,000 T-note that matures on August 15, 2031 (settlement occurs two days after purchase, so you receive actual ownership of the bond on October 7, 2019). The coupon rate on the T-note is 4.750 percent and the current price quoted on the bond is 105.34375 percent.

    a. 1.8716%

    b. $13,937.9955

    Explanation:

    The computation is shown below:

    a. For accrued interest

    = (Coupon rate : 2) * (Before settlement days : Total settlement days)

    = (4.750% : 2) * (145 days : 145 days + 39 days)

    = 2.3750% * 0.7880

    = 1.8716%

    b. Now the dirty price is

    = Face value * (accrued interest percentage + current price quoted on the bond)

    = $13,000 * (1.8716% + 105.34375%)

    = $13,000 * 107.21535%

    = $13,937.9955

    By applying the above formulas we can get the accrued interest and the dirty price
