I understand this problem, what I don't get is how to calculate the accrued interest because I don't know how to determine the intervals of the semi annual interest payments.

2018-01-25 19:26:26 UTC  

Hmm. Send pic of question

Ok so the equation for AI might be

cash flow (1-(days/total days in coupon period))
Idk that helps

2018-01-25 19:33:28 UTC  

Yeah I know that much, thank you, I'm having trouble just discerning the days since the last coupon payment from the dates given is all.

Bonds usually pay interest on the first day of January and July

2018-01-25 19:36:31 UTC  

That's usually what semiannual implies.

2018-01-25 19:36:37 UTC  

Ok.

@SamanthaM awesome, I think this is the first homework help of the new academic channels!

2018-01-29 00:29:26 UTC  

Would anyone @here be willing to read my rought draft for a paper I'm writing on this video:

2018-01-29 00:31:37 UTC  

Also any specific sources to help back up my statements would be appreciated

2018-01-29 00:37:17 UTC  

@StrawberryArmada I suggest putting the paper into a google doc, and creating a share link where anyone with the link can comment on (but not edit) the document

2018-01-29 00:39:17 UTC  

Good idea

2018-01-29 00:46:18 UTC  

This should work

2018-01-29 00:46:20 UTC  

Halp pls

2018-01-29 00:46:28 UTC  

:)

2018-01-29 01:22:09 UTC  

@StrawberryArmada Alright dude I looked over it, left my comments and some sources I found. Hopefully someone else can give it a once over as well @here

2018-01-29 01:22:32 UTC  

Thanks mate. I still have a week before the finally draft

2018-01-29 01:25:17 UTC  

yw!

2018-01-29 02:52:36 UTC  

Anyone able to help with an algebra problem? Pretty basic

2018-01-29 02:53:17 UTC  

@Warren H shoot

2018-01-29 02:53:32 UTC  

9u = 6/5

How do i get to 2/15?

2018-01-29 02:54:00 UTC  

Multiply both sides by 5

2018-01-29 02:54:10 UTC  

so on the left you have 45 u

2018-01-29 02:54:43 UTC  

an the right the 5 on the bottom cancels out with the 5 on the top you just multiplied

2018-01-29 02:54:52 UTC  

so 45u = 6

2018-01-29 02:55:03 UTC  

then divide both sides by 45

2018-01-29 02:55:09 UTC  

so u = 6/45

2018-01-29 02:55:24 UTC  

6 is 2\*3, and 45 = 15\*3

2018-01-29 02:55:49 UTC  

so u = (2\*3)/(15\*3)

2018-01-29 02:56:06 UTC  

the 3 on top and bottom cross out

2018-01-29 02:56:11 UTC  

so u = 2/15

2018-01-29 02:57:08 UTC  

@Warren H oh you want it the way they did it in the picture? it is similar:

2018-01-29 02:57:17 UTC  

starting from 9u = 6/5

2018-01-29 02:57:29 UTC  

Your way seems easier. There's was confusing as heck
