    Price of the bond is $1,757

    Explanation:

    Coupon payment = 2000 x 6.4% = $128 annually

    Number of periods = n = 20 years

    Yield to maturity = 7.6% annually

    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 = $128 x [ (1 - (1 + 7.6%) ^-20) / 7.6% ] + [ 2,000 / (1 + 7.6%) ^20 ]

    Price of the Bond = $128 x [ (1 - (1.076) ^-20) / 0.076 ] + [ 2,000 / (1.076) ^20 ]

    Price of the Bond = $1295.03 + $462.15

    Price of the Bond = $1,757.18
