Expert Solution

Face/Par Value of bond = $1000

Semi-Annual Coupon Bond = $1000*5%*1/2

= $25

No of years to maturity from now = 13 years - 3 years = 10

No of Coupon payments = No of years to maturity from now*2 = 10*2

= 20

Current Market interest rate(YTM) = 7.5%

Semi-annual YTM = 7.5%/2 = 3.75%

Calculating the Market price of Bond:-

Price = $347.405 + $478.892

Price = $826.30

So, the bond currently worth is $826.30

Option E
