    The present value / Price of the bond is $230.21

    Explanation:

    The bond has a future value of 1,000 which means it will pay 1,000 when it matures, also there are no payments in between as this is a pure discount bond. In order to find the present value/price we will have to discount 1000 by the current interest rate and 20 years back.

    Present value = Future value / (1+Interest rate) ^N

    Future value = 1,000

    Interest rate = 7.62%

    N = 20

    1000 / (1.0762) ^20

    PV = 230.21
