Coupons pending = Time till maturity = 20 years = 20*2(because smi-annually) = 40 Coupons

Price of Bond = PV of All Coupons + PV of Maturity Value

= [Coupon*Annuity Factor] + [Maturity Value*Discounting Factor]

= [1000*5%*15.04629687] + [1000*0.097222188] = 752.3148 + 97.222 = $849.5368 = $849.54
