    The current price of the bond is $913.91 as computed below

    Explanation:

    In order to determine the current bond price, the pv formula in excel comes handy.

    The pv formula is stated as below:

    =pv (rate, nper, pmt, fv)

    rate is the yield to maturity on the bond which is 10.40% in this case

    nper is the period to maturity of the bond which is 6 years

    pmt is the annual coupon payment payable by the bond which is denoted as coupon rate * face value of the bond i. e 8.40%*$1000=$84

    fv is the face value of the bond which repayable at maturity

    =-pv (10.40%,6,84,1000)

    =$913.91
