Answer:

$ 15.63  

Explanation:

The present value of the 17th coupon is the semi-annual coupon discounted at the discount factor that reflect that the payment is the 17th of the 20 coupons payments payable by the bond as done below

semi annual coupon=$1000*6%*6/12=$30

The discount factor applicable is 1/(1+7.82%/2)^17=1/(1+3,91%)^17=0.520984902

The present value of the 17th coupon=coupon amount*discount factor

                                                              =$30*0.520984902 =$15.63  

The present of the 17th coupon is $ 15.63  

This is then applied in  bond duration calculation
