    Price of Bond=$871.997

    Explanation:

    The price of a bond is the present value (PV) of the future cash inflows expected from the bond discounted using the yield to maturity.

    Price of Bond = PV of interest payment + PV of redemption value

    PV of interest payment

    interest payment = 5% * 1,000 = $50

    PV = A * (1 - 1+r) ^ (-n) / r

    r - 6.2%, n - 18, A - 50

    PV = 50 * (1 - 1.062^ (-18)) / 0.062=533.341

    PV of redemption

    PV = FV * (1+r) ^ (-n)

    PV = 1,000 * 1.062^ (-18) = 338.655

    Price of the stock = 533.3419 + 338.655

    Price of Bond=$871.997
