    The current price of the bond is $1019.63

    Explanation:

    The current price of the bond is the present value of the face value of the bond that will be received at maturity plus the present value of the interest payments that the bond will provide.

    The interest payments by the bond are of equal amount and after equal interval of time and are for a defined time period. Thus, they can be treated as an annuity and the present value of annuity can be calculated using the interest payments.

    The semiannual interest payment by bond is = 1000 * 0.0625 * 6/12 = $31.25

    The semi annual YTM = 6.03 / 2 = 0.03015 or 3.015%

    The total discounting periods are = 13 * 2 = 26 periods

    The current price of the bond = 31.25 * [ (1 - (1+0.03015) ^-26) / 0.03015 ] +

    1000 / (1+0.03015) ^26

    Current price of the bond = $1019.63
