    Total Current Call Price = $1,668.36

    Explanation:

    Calculation of Present value of bond's coupon payment that is lost by premature termination of bond:

    PV = C / i [1 - 1 / (1 + i) ^n]

    C = Coupon amount = 1,000 x 8.25% = 82.50 / 2 = 41.25

    n = Number of payment period = 13 x 2 = 26

    i = Rate of Interest = 7.75 / 2 = 3.875%

    PV = 41.25 / 0.03875 [1 - 1 / (1 + 0.03875) ^26] = $668.36

    Add: Face value = 1,000

    Total Current call price = 668.36 + 1,000 = $1,668.36
