1. A government bond pays a semiannual coupon at 8% and makes payments on January 7 and July 7 of each year. The WSJ reports an ask price for this bond on January 22 of $ 1003,125. What is the invoice price (invoice Price) of the bond if the period between coupon and coupon is 182 days?
Number of days : 22-7= 15 days
Accrued Interest : Par Value * coupon rate * n/ 360
= 1000 * .08 *15/182
= 6.59
Invoice Price = Flat price + accrued Interest
= 1003.125 + 6.59
= $ 1009.715
