Value of a bond is the present value of its cash flows. The cash flows are the coupon payments and the face value receivable on maturity
Value of bond is calculated using PV function in Excel :
rate = 7.2%/2 (Semiannual YTM of bonds = annual YTM / 2)
nper = 15 (Number of semiannual coupon payments remaining until maturity = years to maturity * 2 = 7.5 * 2 = 15)
pmt = 2500 * 14% / 2 (semiannual coupon payment = face value * coupon rate / 2)
fv = 2500 (face value receivable on maturity)
PV is calculated to be $3,472.05
Price of bond = value of bond - discount
Price of bond = $3,472.05 - $283.12
Price of bond = $3,188.93
