Answer:

$977.93

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a coupon paying bond. Using a financial calculator, input the following;

Time to maturity; N = 15

Coupon payment; PMT = 7.25% *1000 = 72.5

Face Value; FV = 1,000

Annual interest rate; I/Y = 7.5%

then compute the price of the bond, a.k.a present value; CPT PV = 977.93

Therefore, the price of the bond today is $977.93
