    The price of the bond will be closest $1,0445

    Explanation:

    Face value $1000, years to maturity 15 years, coupon rate 8% paid semi annually, YTM 80%

    Semiannual

    n = 15*2 = 30

    coupon payments = 8%*1000/2 = $40

    YTM = 7.5%/2 = 3.75%

    Value of a bond is equal the present value of coupon payments and present value of face value at maturity

    Bond Price = C * [1 - (1+r) ^-n/r] + FV / (1+r) ^n

    = 40 * [1 - (1+0.375) ^-30/0.0375] + 1000 / (1+0.0375) ^30

    =713.1698 + 331.4033

    = $1,044.57

    Therefore when rounding of the price of this bond is closest to $1,0445
