    Given:

    Years to maturity = n = 20

    Coupon rate = C = 7.8%

    Frequency of payment = m = 2

    Semiannual coupon = $1,000 * (0.078/2) = $39.00

    Current market rate = i = 7%

    Present value of bond = P

    Price of bond = 0.078 x 1000 x (1 - (1 + 0.07) ^-20/0.07 + 1000 / (1.07) ^20 = 78 x 10.60 = 826.33 + 258.42 = 1,084.75

    The correct answer is: $1,085
