    The quoted price of the bond is $1,748.41

    Explanation:

    The quoted price of the bond can be computed using the pv formula in excel which is given below:

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

    The rate is semiannual yield to maturity since the bond pay interest semiannually, which is 6.9%/2=3.45%

    nper is the number of coupon interests the bond would pay over its entire bond life which is 24 years multiplied 2 i. e 48

    pmt is the coupon interest payable semiannually which is $2000*5.82%/2=$58.20

    The fv is the face value of the bond at $2000

    =-pv (3.45%,48,58.20,2000) = $ 1,748.41

    The bond quoted price is currently $ 1,748.41
