    R = 7% x $1,000 = $70

    Po = R/2 (1 - (1+Kd/m) - nm/Kd/m + FV / (1+Kd/m) nm

    Po = 70/2 (1 - (1+0.0682/2) - 13.5x2/0.0682/2 + 1,000 / (1+0.0682/2) 13.5x2

    Po = 35 (1 - (1+0.0341) - 27/0.0341 + 1000 / (1+0.0341) 27

    Po = 35 (17.4663) + 1,000/2.4728

    Po = $611.3205 + $404.40

    Po = $1,015.72

    The correct answer is C

    Explanation:

    The current price of a bond is equal to present value of coupon plus the present value of face value of the bond. The bond pays semi-annual interest, thus, we will divide the coupon by 2 and then determine the present value. The bond yield will also be divided by 2.

    Po = Current price of the bond, R = Coupon, Kd = Bond yield, FV = Face value, n = Bond maturity and m = No of times coupon is paid in a year
