Answer:
The price of the bonds is $ 1,276.
Explanation:
The value of bond or issue price can be calculated by discounting all future cash flow using effective rate of retun. Detail calculations are given below.
Future Value = Redemption present value (RPV) + Present value of interest (PVI)
RPV = 1,000 (1+5%)^-15 = $ 481 -A
PVI = 36.25 * Annuity factor =$ 759 -B
Future Value = A + B = $ 1,276
Annuity factor = (1- (1+i%)^-n)/i% = (1- (1+5%/2)^-30)/(5%/2) = 20.9303
