Answer:
Bond price= $1,210.4
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Coupon rate= 0.079/2= 0.0395
YTM= 0.056/2= 0.028
Face value= $1,000
n= 13*2= 26
To calculate the price of the bond, we need to use the following formula:
Bond Price= cupon*{[1 - (1+i)^-n] / i} + [face value/(1+i)^n]
Bond price= 39.5*{[1 - (1.028^-26)]/0.028} + [1,000 / 1.028^26]
Bond price= 722.67 + 487.73
Bond price= $1,210.4
