Answer:
The price of the bond is $659.64.
Explanation:
C = coupon payment = $62.00 (Par Value * Coupon Rate)
n = number of years = 6
i = market rate, or required yield = 15 = 0.15 = 0.15 /2 = 0.075
k = number of coupon payments in 1 year = 2
P = value at maturity, or par value = $1000
BOND PRICE= C/k [ 1 - ( 1 / ( 1 + i )^nk ) / i ] + [ P / ( 1 + i )^nk )]
BOND PRICE= 62/2 [ 1 - ( 1 / ( 1 + 0.075 )^6x2 ) / 0.075 ] + [ $1,000 / ( 1 + 0.075 )^6x2 )]
BOND PRICE= 31 [ 1 - ( 1 / ( 1.075 )^12 ) / 0.075 ] + [ $1,000 / ( 1.075 )^12 )]
BOND PRICE= 31 [ 1 - ( 1 / ( 1.075 )^12 ) / 0.075 ] + [ $1,000 / ( 1.075 )^12 )]
BOND PRICE= $239.79 + $419.85 = $659.64
