Final answer:

While specific calculations for the dirty price, accrued interest, and clean price of Bond G are not provided due to a lack of necessary data, the dirty price includes the clean price plus accrued interest, and the clean price is the present value of future cash flows discounted at the bond's YTM.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the full (dirty) price, accrued interest, and flat (clean) price of Bond G, we'll need to use the given information such as the annual coupon rate, coupon payment frequency, interest payment dates, day-count convention, yield to maturity (YTM), and par value. Unfortunately, since actual detailed calculations require more specific financial formulas and the student's question lacks some necessary data, we can provide only a general explanation of how to approach these calculations.

The full (dirty) price of Bond G on the settlement date includes the flat (clean) price plus any accrued interest since the last coupon payment. The accrued interest is calculated based on the number of days since the last coupon payment (using the 30/360 day-count convention) and the semiannual coupon amount (which is the annual coupon rate divided by two, then multiplied by the par value).

The flat (clean) price is the price without the accrued interest. It's calculated by discounting the bond's future coupon payments and its face value at the bond's YTM. Due to the complexity of these calculations, financial calculators or software are often used to obtain precise values.
