    Price of the bond = $5626.2518

    Explanation:

    The price of a bond is the present value (PV) of the future cash inflows expected from the bond discounted using the yield to maturity.

    The price of the bond can be calculated as follows:

    PV of interest payment + PV of redemption Value

    Step 1

    PV of interest payment

    Interest payment = (4.6% * $4000) / 2

    =$ 92

    Semi annual yield = 2.1/2 = 1.05 %

    PV of interest payment

    = 92 * (1 - (1.0105) ^ (-20*2)) / 0.0105)

    = 2992.30

    Step 2

    PV of redemption value

    = 4,000 * (1+0.0105) ^ (-20*2)

    = 2633.948

    Step 3

    Price of bond

    = $12992.30 + $2633.94

    =$5626.2518
