When you buy a bond, the date of purchase (the settlement date) is often between two coupon payment dates. In this situation, the price you pay (the invoice price) is the sum of the flat price and the accrued interest.

In this exercise, you compute the invoice price of a $1000 par value, 5% semi-annual payment coupon bond maturing on 30th June 2025 for various settlement dates.
