You have just purchased a municipal bond with a $10,000 par value for $9,500. You purchased it immediately after the previous owner received a semiannual interest payment.

You borrow $20,000 to purchase a car and will repay the loan in uniform monthly payments for the next 48 months. The first payment is due one month after the purchase of the car.
