Explanation:
To calculate the dirty and clean prices:
Given:
$1,000$1,000 × 6%/2 = $30Step 1: Calculate dirty price (full price) The dirty price is the present value of all future cash flows.
Dirty Price = PV of coupons + PV of principal
Using the bond pricing formula: Dirty Price = C × [1 - (1+r)^-n]/r + FV/(1+r)^n
Where:
$30$1,000Dirty Price = 30 × [1 - (1.025)^-10]/0.025 + 1,000/(1.025)^10
First term: 30 × [1 - 1/1.280085]/0.025 = 30 × [1 - 0.781198]/0.025 = 30 × 0.218802/0.025 = 30 × 8.75208 = 262.562
Second term: 1,000/1.280085 = 781.198
Dirty Price = 262.562 + 781.198 = $1,043.76
Step 2: Calculate accrued interest
Accrued Interest = Coupon × (Days since last coupon / Days in coupon period)
= $30 × (90/180) = $30 × 0.5 = $15
Step 3: Calculate clean price
Clean Price = Dirty Price - Accrued Interest
= $1,043.76 - $15 = $1,028.76
Therefore, the dirty price is $1,043.76 and the clean price is $1,028.76.

A $1,000 par corporate bond carries a coupon rate of 6%, pays coupons semiannually, and has ten coupon payments remaining to maturity. Market rates are currently 5%. There are 90 days between settlement and the next coupon payment. The dirty and clean prices of the bond, respectively, are closest to:
A
$1,043.76, $1,013.76
B
$1,043.76, $1,028.76
