Answer:

$18,763.38

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation to determine the dollar price of the bond

Using this formula

Value of bond=Par value/(1+YTM/2)^(2*time period)

Let plug in the formula

Value of bond=10,000/(1+0.049/2)^(2*13)

Value of bond=10,000/(1.0245)^26

Value of bond=10,000/1.8763378

Value of bond=$18,763.38(Approx).

Therefore the dollar price of the bond is $18,763.38
