    Coupon (R) = 8% x $1,000 = $80

    No of years to maturity = 10 years

    Yield to maturity (Kd) = 8.125% = 0.08125

    Po = R/2 (1 - (1+Kd/2) - n) / kd/2 + FV / (1+Kd/2) n

    Po = $80/2 (1 - (1+0.08125/2) - 10 + $1,000 / (1 + 0.08125) 10

    0.08125/2

    Po = $40 (1 - (1+0.040625) - 10 + $1,000 / (1+0.040625) 10

    0.040625

    Po = $40 (8.0857) + $671.52

    Po = $994.95 = $995

    Explanation:

    The current market price of a bond equals the present value of the semi-annual coupon and the present value of the face value. There is need to discount the coupon at the annuity factor of 8,125% for 10 years in order to obtain the present value of the coupon. We also need to discount the face value at 8,125% for 10 years to obtain the present value of the face value. The summation of the present value of coupon and the present value of face value gives the current market price of the bond.
