    The price of the bond is $659.64.

    Explanation:

    C = coupon payment = $62.00 (Par Value * Coupon Rate)

    n = number of years = 6

    i = market rate, or required yield = 15 = 0.15 = 0.15 / 2 = 0.075

    k = number of coupon payments in 1 year = 2

    P = value at maturity, or par value = $1000

    BOND PRICE = C/k [ 1 - (1 / (1 + i) ^nk) / i ] + [ P / (1 + i) ^nk) ]

    BOND PRICE = 62/2 [ 1 - (1 / (1 + 0.075) ^6x2) / 0.075 ] + [ $1,000 / (1 + 0.075) ^6x2) ]

    BOND PRICE = 31 [ 1 - (1 / (1.075) ^12) / 0.075 ] + [ $1,000 / (1.075) ^12) ]

    BOND PRICE = 31 [ 1 - (1 / (1.075) ^12) / 0.075 ] + [ $1,000 / (1.075) ^12) ]

    BOND PRICE = $239.79 + $419.85 = $659.64
