    Coupon (R) = 14% x $1,000 = $140

    Bond yield (kd) = 8% = 0.08

    No of years (n) = 30 years

    No of compounding periods (m) = 2

    Po = R/m (1 - (1+Kd/m) - nm/Kd/m + FV / (1+Kd/m) nm

    Po = $140/2 (1 - (1+0.08/2) - 30x2 + 1,000 (1+0.08/2) 30x2

    0.08/2

    Po = $70 (1 - (1+0.04) - 60 + 1,000 / (1 + 0.04) 60

    0.04

    Po = $70 (1 - (1.04) - 60 + 1,000 / (1.04) 60

    0.04

    Po = 70 (22.6235) + 95.06

    Po = $1,678.71

    Explanation:

    The price of a bond is equal to the present value of coupon plus the present value of the face value.
