Answer:

$957,349

Step-by-step explanation:

the market price of the bonds = PV of face value + PV of coupon payments

PV of face value = $1,000,000 / (1.03)¹⁰ = $744,094

PV of coupon payments = $25,000 x 8.5302 (PV annuity factor, 3%, 10 periods) = $213,255

market price of the bonds = $744,094 + $213,255 = $957,349
