Expert Solution

Par value of bond = $1000

Semi-annual Coupon Payment = $1000*4%*1/2

= $20

Ask Price today on Feb 5th = $1000*85% = $850

Semi-annual coupon rate are paid on January 01 and July 01 every year.

- Invoice price includes Accrued Interest while Ask price does not include accrued Interest.

Accrued Interest earned from Jan 01 to Feb 5 ,i.e., in 35 days = Semi-annual Coupon Payment*35/182

= $20*35/182 = $3.85

Invoice price = Ask Price + Accrued Interest

= $850 + $3.85

Invoice price = $853.85
