Answer:
$1,066.54
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the market value of the bond
Using this formula
Market value of bond = Coupon payment per period * [1-(1+i)^-n]/i + par value/(1+i)^n
Where,
i = interest rate per period
n = number of periods
Let plug in the formula
Market value of bond = 7%/2 * [1-(1+0.046/2)^-3*2]/(0.046/2) + 1000/(1+0.046/2)^3.2
Market value of bond = 3.5% * [1-(1+0.023)^-6]/(0.023) + 1000/(1+0.023)^6
Market value of bond=$1,066.54
Therefore the market value of the bond will be $1,066.54
