Answer:

$964.42 approx.

Explanation:

Current value of a bond is the present value of it's future stream of coupon payments as well as it's redemption value upon maturity.

Here, coupon rate = 2.850/2 = 1.425% per period

          N = no of periods = 10 years × 2 = 20 periods

          Face Value = $1000 assumed

          Yield to maturity (YTM) = 3.27/2 = 1.635%

          Present Value or [tex]B_{0}[/tex] shall be calculated as:

[tex]B_{0} = \frac{C}{(1\ +\ YTM)^{1} } \ +\ \frac{C}{(1\ +\ YTM)^{2} } \ +........+\ \frac{C}{(1\ +\ YTM)^{20} } \ + \frac{RV}{(1\ +\ YTM)^{20} }[/tex]

[tex]B_{0} = \frac{14.25}{(1\ +\ .01635)^{1} } \ +\ \frac{14.25}{(1\ +\ .01635)^{2} } \ +........+\ \frac{14.25}{(1\ +\ .01635)^{20} } \ + \frac{1000}{(1\ +\ .01635)^{20} }[/tex]

[tex]B_{0}[/tex] =      16.94 ×  14.25   + 722.99 = 241.4280 +722.99

[tex]B_{0}[/tex] =      $ 964.418

Thus, current price of the bond is $964.42 approx.
