    Price of coupon is $553.7098

    Explanation:

    Using the formula

    Price = Face value / (1+rate) ^periods

    Face value = $1,000

    Rate for semiannual = 6/2 = 3

    Periods for semiannual = 10*2 = 20

    Therefore

    Price = 1,000 / (1+0.03) ^20

    Price = 1,000 / (1.03) ^20

    Price 1000/1.806 = 553.7098
