Answer:

$308.32

Step-by-step explanation:

since the bond doesn't pay any coupons, its market value is equal to the present value of its face value:

market value = $1,000 / (1 + 4%)³⁰ = $1,000 / 3.243398 = $308.32

when a bond pays coupons, in order to determine the present value of the bond you would need to include the present value of the coupon payments (annuity).
