    R = 6.7% x 1,000 = $67

    Po = R (1 - (1+r) - n) / k + FV / (1+r) n

    Po = 67 (1 - (1+0.053) - 16) / 0.053 + 1,000/1.05316

    Po = 67 (1-0.4377) / 0.053 + 1,000/2.2848

    Po = 37.8751/0.053 + 437.68

    Po = 714.62 + 437.68

    Po = $1,152.30

    The current dollar price of the bond = $1.152.30

    Explanation:

    The current market price of a bond is equal to periodic coupon discounted at the annuity interest factor for the maturity period plus the present value of the face value discounted at yield to maturity (YTM).
