Answer:

Face value = $60,000

Coupon payment = $60,000 * 10% * 6/12 = $3,000

Years to maturity = 4

Market yield semiannual = 8%/2 = 4%

 

Price of bond = Present value of coupon payments + Present value of maturity amount

= ($3,000 * Present value annuity factor 4% 8 payments) + ($60,000 * Present value factor 4% 8 payment)

= ($3,000 * 6.73274) + ($60,000 * 0.73069)

= $64,039.62
