TRADE TERMS ACCRUED INTEREST “It is remarkable,” sald a Seattle ‘bond man, “how many educated peo- Iple persist in referring to accrued in- Tterest as ‘accrued’ interest.” “Accrued interest” is one of the most common expressions in invest- {ment dealings and one often not tolearly understood. It can, perhaps, st be explained by an illustration. Let us take, for example, a $1,000 ‘bond bearing 4 per cent interest, which would, of course, pay the hold- fer $40 a year. The interest is paid PJanuary 1 and July 1, $20 ‘at each filme. ‘The interest i# not paid untll tit iv due; in the month of June the est due, July 1 cannot be col- se Jones owned the bond un- it! June he would then be entitled {to the interest on his money at the hrate of 4°per cent from January 1, jat which tithe ‘he last collected his finterest. He wished to sell it for ‘what it is worth on June 1, which, hit the bond were worth its face value, fwould be par-plus the interest that shad heen running since January 1 {until June 1-+the “accrued interest 3 The sale would therefore be made frat par and accrued interest;” the Shuyer would pay $1,000 plus five months’ interest at 4 per cent to "Jones, who would then have the ivalue of his bond and the interest it had earned up to the date of sale. ho buyer would hold the bond until HJuly 1, at which time he would be ‘paid not only one month's interest on is rnoney, but in addition he would receive the five months’ intercat he iad previously paid to Jones. * The sale “with accrued interest” in ithe only way wuch securities could he sold atvother than interest dates without loss of interest to the buy or sailor. i !
