Answer:

Bond Price​= $894.65

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Face value= $1,000

Number of periods= 10

Cupon= 0.055*1,000= $55

YTM= 0.07

To calculate the price of the bond, we need to use the following formula:

Bond Price​= cupon*{[1 - (1+i)^-n] / i} + [face value/(1+i)^n]

Bond Price​= 55*{[1 - (1.07^-10)] / 0.07 + [1,000/(1.07^10)

Bond Price​= 386.30 + 508.35

Bond Price​= $894.65
