    Explanation:

    Market price of a bond is the total sum of discounted coupon cashflow and par value at maturity. This is a 4-year bond with semi-annual payment so there will be 8 coupon payment in total. Let formulate the bond price as below:

    Bond price = [ (Coupon rate/2) x Par] / (1 + Required return/2) + [ (Coupon rate/2) x Par] / (1 + Required return/2) ^2 + ... + [ (Coupon rate/2) x Par + Par] / (1 + Required return/2) ^8

    Putting all the number together, we have

    Bond price = [ (4.5%) x 1000] / (1 + 7.5%) + [ (4.5%) x 1000] / (1 + 7.5%) ^2 + ... + [ (4.5%) x 1000 + 1000] / (1 + 7.5%) ^8

    = 824.28
