Answer: $1,000

Step-by-step explanation:

When the coupon rate of a bond is the same as its yield, the price of the bond will be the face value of the bond regardless of the period of compounding or the number of years left to maturity.

As the face value of most bonds is usually $1,000, we can surmise that the price of Staind bonds is $1,000 because its coupon rate of 11% is the same as its yield.
