To calculate: Coupon rate, bid price, and the previous day’s asked price.

Introduction: The interest rate that bond issuers pay on the bond's face value is known as the coupon rate. A bid price is an amount that someone is willing to pay for a security, asset, commodity, service, or contract, among other things. An increase or decrease in the value of a security or other asset is known as a price change in the stock market. The phrase can also be used to describe the variation in a stock's closing price from one trading day to the next.
