Answer #1

Solution:

The number of days from the last coupon date 31/12/2015 to 10/3/2016 is 70 (considering 29 days for February month). There are 182 days from December 31, 2015 and June 30, 2016.

Cash price of bond = Accrued Interest + Quoted price

Cash price of bond = (8/2)*(70/182) + 102.125

Cash price of bond = 1.538 + 102.125

Cash price of bond = $103.663

Hence the cash price is $103.663
