    The price of the bond today is $1,042.96

    Explanation:

    Face value (FV) : $1000

    Coupon rate: 4.9%

    -> counpon received annually (PMT) = $1000 * 4.9% = $49

    Tenor: 15 years

    YTM: 4.5%

    Present value = Future Value / (1 + YTM) ^tenor

    We can use excel to calculate Present Value of annual payment = PV (Rate, tenor,-PMT) = PV (4.5%,15,-49) = $526.24

    The price of bond today = present value of face value + present value of coupon received annually

    = 1000 / (1+4.5%) ^15 + 49 / (1+4.5%) ^15 + 49 / (1+4.5%) ^14 + ... + 49 / (1+4.5%) ^1

    = 1000 / (1+4.5%) ^15 + $526.24

    = $1,042.96
