    The price of the bond is $4,632.16

    Explanation:

    Coupon payment = $5,000 x 2.8% = $140 / 2 = $70 semiannually

    Number of period = n = 16 years x 2 period per year = 32 period

    Yield to maturity = 3.4% annually = 3.4% / 2 = 1.7% semiannually

    Price of bond is the present value of future cash flows, to calculate Price of the bond use following formula:

    Price of the Bond = C x [ (1 - (1 + r) ^-n) / r ] + [ F / (1 + r) ^n ]

    Price of the Bond = $70 x [ (1 - (1 + 1.7%) ^-32) / 1.7% ] + [ $5,000 / (1 + 1.7%) ^32 ]

    Price of the Bond = $70 x [ (1 - (1.017) ^-32) / 0.017 ] + [ $1,000 / (1.017) ^32 ]

    Price of the Bond = $1,716.72 + $2,915.41

    Price of the Bond = $4,632.13
