Answer:- The present value of bond investment = $655960.
Explanation-Calculation of selling price of bond at issuance=
B0 =C/2 {1-(1+r/2)-2t}/ r/2 +F/(1+r/2)-2t
Where:-
Bo = Bond price
C= Coupon payment
r = Interest Rate
F= Face value
t = Years/Periods
Since the interest is paid semi-annually the bond interest rate per period is 6.5% (= 13%/ 2), the market interest rate is 5.5% (= 11%/ 2) and number of time periods are 10 (= 2*5). Hence, the price of the bond is calculated as the present value of all future cash flows as shown below:-
Price of Bond =6.5%*$610000*{1-(1+5.5%)-10/5.5%} +$610000/(1+5.5%)10
=($39650*7.5376)+ ($610000*0.5854)
= $298866+$357094
=$655960
