Bond Investment Example

One investor bought bonds with face value of USD100,000 of Company A with a price of 105.13 per unit (bonds with face value of USD100 as one unit) on April 26, 2016.  The bonds have a coupon rate of 8.625% with interest distributed annually, and the maturity date is January 24, 2019.  The brokerage commission is 0.4% on transaction amount per order.  The final settlement amount of this transaction would be the total of:
1. Transaction amount of the bonds: USD100,000 × 1.0515=USD105,150
2. Brokerage commission payable: US$100,000×(105.15/100) ×0.4%=USD420.60
3. Accrued interest payable for 94 days from the last interest payment date (January 23, 2016) to the transaction date (April 26, 2016) : 8.625%×(94/365)×USD100,000=USD2,221.23
Total amount payable by client for buying the bonds: USD105,150+ USD420.6+ USD2,221.23= USD107,791.83
Interest received by client per year : USD100,000×8.625%=USD8,625 (excluding other handling charges)
