    The face value of the bond is 1,000 and its coupon rate of 5.5% with semi annual payments, which means that 2 payments are made each year. In order to find the amount of each payment we calculate the 5.5% of 1,000 and divide it by 2

    1000*0.055/2 = 27.5 is Payment

    The bond is to be valued at 2012 and has a maturity till 2021 so the number of years to maturity is 9 years which means that the total number of payments are 18 (9*2). The required rate of return is 7%and we will divide it by 2 as payments are semiannual, so we can assume the ytm of the bond is 3.5%. Now as we know the payment, face value, ytm and number of periods we can put this information in a financial calculator and find the price or present value or intrinsic value of the bond.

    FV = 1,000

    PMT = 27.5

    N = 18

    I = 3.5

    Compute PV = 901.07

    The price or present value or intrinsic value of the bond is $901.07
