Information provided:

Par value= future value= $1,000

Time= 10 years*2= 20 semi-annual periods

Yield to maturity= 12%/2= 6% per semi-annual period

Coupon rate = 9% / 2 = 4.50%

Semi-annual coupon payment= 0.0450*$1,000 = $45

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

Enter the below to compute the present value:

FV= 1,000

N= 20

I/Y= 6

PMT= 45

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

The value obtained is 827.95.

Therefore, the price of the bond is $827.95.
