Answer:

$889.29

Explanation:

We have to use the PV formula that is shown in the attachment.

Given that,  

Future value = $1,000

Rate of interest = 7.73%  ÷ 2 = 3.865%

NPER = 9 years  × 2 = 18 years

PMT = ($1,000 × 6%) ÷ 2 = $30

The formula is shown below:

= -PV(Rate;NPER;PMT;FV;type)

So, after solving this, the market price of a bond is $889.29

Since in semi annual basis, the interest rate is half and the time period is doubled. The same is applied
