Bond, accrued income and paid income
I was using MS Money as i have several bond portfolios which were either acquiried by brokers or by other companies.
Could you please help me understand how to enter the below transactions?
1) For each bond acquisition the price includes the face value of the bond and the accrued coupon that will be owned to the previous bond holder. How to record these two transactions differently as i need to have track of the face value i paid and the coupon i owed. Please let me know how to link them with a liability account if i bough them through other companies which i did not pay yet or to the broker that i already paid through bank.
2) i would like to keep track on the coupons that i will earn over time (eg. up until maturity) to project when i will gain more money for further investments. how i will add furture coupon to be receive and link them to my bank account?
