    = $877.32

    Explanation:

    The value of the bond is the present value (PV) of the future cash receipts expected from the bond. The value is equal to present values of interest payment plus the redemption value (RV).

    Value of Bond = PV of interest + PV of RV

    The value of bond for Jasper Inc can be worked out as follows:

    Step 1

    PV of interest payments

    Semi annul interest payment

    = 4.5% * 1000 * 1/2

    = 22.5

    Semi-annual yield = 5.6/2 = 2.8% per six months

    Total period to maturity (in months)

    = (2 * 19) = 38 periods (Note it was sold a year ago)

    PV of interest =

    22.5 * (1 - (1+0.028) ^ (-38) / 0.028)

    = 22.5 * 23.20871226

    = 522.196

    Step 2

    PV of Redemption Value

    = 1,000 * (1.056) ^ (-19)

    = 355.128

    Price of bond

    = 522.19 + 355.12

    = $877.32
