Respuesta :

Answer:

$1,039.47

Explanation:

Data provided in the question

Face value = $1,000

Quoted price = $101.364

Coupon rate = 7.75%

So by considering the above information, the dirty price of this bond is

= Clean price + accrued interest

where,

Clean price is

= $1,000 × 101.364%

= $1,013.64

And, the accrued interest is

= $1,000 × 7.75% × 4 months ÷ 12 months

= $25.83

So, the dirty price of the bond is

= $1,013.64 + $25.83

= $1,039.47
