| pranubal | How? please explain. |
| enetis | b/c both the clean and dirty price are simply the PV of a future stream cash flows. As the the market discount rate (YTM) changes the PV also also changes as you have to discount those cash flows using a different rate. |
| ascruggs92 | You should know that market discount rate affects flat price. If not, reread the section. Full (Dirty) Price =Flat (Clean) Price + Accrued Interest Therefore, because flat price is a component of the full price, the market rate affects it as well |
| Rsanches | good point |
| houstcarr | pretty sure this question is trying to make the point that you don't discount accrued interest, even though time value of money concept would imply that you do. yes in reality discounting AI would be impractical |
| mikus | Coupon rate and NOT market discount rate is involved in calculation of accrued interest. |
Thanks again for your wonderful site ... it definitely made the difference.
