    The bond is sold at a premium of $1155.89 - $1000 = $155.89

    Explanation:

    N = 10 years * 2 semiannual = 20 payments of interest

    coupon interest = 7% / 2 = 0.035

    market interest = 5% / 2 = 0.025

    interest = 1000*0.035 = $35 per semiannual

    Pv interest for interest = [1-1 / (1+0.025) ^20]0.025 = 15.89 * $35 = $545.62

    Pv for capital = 1000 / (1+0.025) ^20 = $610

    value of the Bond = 610.27 + 545.62 = 1155.89

    The market rate is less than the coupon rate meaning the bond is traded at a premium

    Pv factor for many years = [1-1 / (1+r) ^n]/r
