Explanation:
To calculate the dirty and clean prices of the bond:
Given:
$1,000$1,000 × 3% = $30Step 1: Calculate present value of remaining cash flows
Using the bond pricing formula:
This can be calculated as:
Total PV = 262.56 + 781.20 = $1,043.76
Step 2: Calculate accrued interest
Accrued interest = Coupon payment × (Days elapsed / Total days)
= $30 × (90 / 180) = $30 × 0.5 = $15
Step 3: Calculate clean and dirty prices
$1,043.76$1,043.76 - $15 = $1,028.76Therefore, the dirty price is $1,043.76 and the clean price is $1,028.76.
