Information provided:

Par value= future value= $1,000

Time= 14 years*2= 28 semi-annual periods

Coupon rate= 12%/2= 6%

Coupon payment= 0.06*1,000= $60 per semi-annual period

Yield to maturity= 7.5%/2= 3.75% per semi-annual period

The price of the bond is calculated by computing the present value.

Enter the below in a financial calculator to compute the present value:

FV= 1,000

PMT= 60

I/Y= 3.75

N= 28

Press the CPT key and PV to compute the present value.
