    Market price of bond = $2,166.30

    Explanation:

    Step 1

    Calculate the interest payment per 6 months and number of periods

    Interest rate per 6 months = (5.96% * 2000) / 2 = 59.6

    Number of periods = 19 * 2 = 38 periods

    Step 2

    Calculate the Present Value (PV) of the interest payment

    Yield per six month = 5.3%/2 = 2.65%

    PV = A * (1+r) ^ (-n)

    = 59.6 * ((1.0265) ^ (-38) / 0.0265)

    = 59.6 * 23.7685

    = $1,416.60

    Step 3

    Calculate the PV of the Redemption Value (RV)

    PV = RV * (1+r) ^ (-n)

    = 2000 * (1.053) ^ (-19)

    = 749.705925

    Market price of Bond = 1,416.60 + 749.70

    = $2,166.30

    Market price of bond = $2,166.30
