    I will pay $1,207.56 for this bond.

    Explanation:

    Price of the bond is the present value of all cash flows of the bond. Price of the bond is calculated by following formula:

    According to given data

    Coupon payment = C = $37.5

    Number of periods = n = 4 x 15 years = 60 periods

    Current Yield = r = 12% / 4 = 3% semiannually

    Price of the Bond = $37.5 x [ (1 - (1 + 3%) ^-60) / 3% ] + [ $1,000 / (1 + 3%) ^60 ]

    Price of the Bond = $37.5 x [ (1 - (1.03) ^-60) / 0.03 ] + [ $1,000 / (1.03) ^60 ]

    Price of the Bond = $1,037.83 + $169.73

    Price of the Bond = $1,207.56
