    The price quote of the bond is $972.45

    Explanation:

    The price of the bond can be computed using the pv value formula in excel which is = -pv (rate, nper, pmt, fv)

    rate is the yield to maturity of 6.5%

    nper is the number of coupon interest payment of the bond which is 20

    pmt is the annual interest payment of the bond i. e $1000*6.25%=$62.5

    The fv is the default face value of a bond at $1000

    =-pv (6.5%,20,62.5,1000)

    pv=$972.45

    The bonds would have a price quote of $972.45

    Obviously the bonds would be issued at discount as yield is higher than coupon rate
