Answer:

. The right answer is c.
Explanation:
In order to calculate the market price if the bond has a par value of $1,000, we need first to make the following calculations according to given data:
Coupon Rate = 5.73/2 = 2.865%
Interest = 1000 * 2.865% = $ 28.65
YTM = 6.7/2 = 3.35%
Time = 23*2 = 46 periods
Therefore, the market price would be calculated using the following formula:
Price of Bond = Interest * PVIFA(3.35%,46) + Par Value * PVIF(3.35%,46)
= $28.65 * 23.2942 + 1000 * 0.2196
= $667.38 + $219.64
Hence, Price of Bond = $887.02
The market price if the bond has a par value of $1,000 is $887.02
