Description

The CoupDaybs method returns the number of days from the coupon start date until the agreement date.

Comments

The agreement date is the date of selling a coupon, for example, a bond, to the buyer. The payment date is the coupon expiry date. For example, a bond with duration of 30 years was issued on Jan 1 2008 and was acquired by a buyer in 6 months after the issue date. The issue date is Jan 1 2008, the settlement date - July 1 2008, and the maturity date is Jan 1 2038, that is 30 years after the issue date.

Fore Example

To execute the example, add a link to the MathFin system assembly.

Sub UserProc;
Var
    r: Double;
Begin
    r := Finance.CoupDayBs(DateTime.ComposeDay(2008,11,11), DateTime.ComposeDay(2008,12,31), 1, 3);
    Debug.WriteLine(r);
End Sub UserProc;

After executing the example the console window displays the number of days from the coupon action start thaht is equal to 316.
