Answer:

$949.24.

Step-by-step explanation:

The price of the bond also known as the Present Value (PV) of the Bond CAN be calculated using a Financial Calculator as

FV = $1,000

I/yr = 10%

Pmt = ($1,000 x 8.0 %) / 2 = $40

N = 3 x 2 = 6

P/yr = 2

PV = ???

Inputting the data in a Financial Calculator gives a Present Value of $949.24. Thus the price of the bond is $949.24.
