    Current market price is 474.30

    Explanation:

    The current price of the bond can be computed using the pv function in excel as stated thus:

    =-pv (rate, nper, pmt, fv)

    rate is semiannual yield to maturity which is 7.6%/2

    nper is the 10 years of bond tenure multiplied by 2

    pmt is the coupon payable which is zero

    fv is the face value of the bond which is $1000

    =-pv (7.6%/2,20,0,1000) = $ 474.30
