Answer:

$11,756.89

Step-by-step explanation:

FV = 10,000

PMT = 190 (10000*3.8/2)

1/ Y = 1.45 (2.9%/2)

N = 58 (29*2)

Using MsExcel to salve for PV

Price of the bond = PV (FV, PMT, I/Y, N)

Price of the bond = PV (10000, 190, 1.45%, 58)

Price of the bond = $11756.888

Price of the bond = $11,756.89
