Answer:
The quoted price of the bond is $1,748.41
Explanation:
The quoted price of the bond can be computed using the pv formula in excel which is given below:
=-pv(rate,nper,pmt,fv)
The rate is semiannual yield to maturity since the bond pay interest semiannually,which is 6.9%/2=3.45%
nper is the number of coupon interests the bond would pay over its entire bond life which is 24 years multiplied 2 i.e 48
pmt is the coupon interest payable semiannually which is $2000*5.82%/2=$58.20
The fv is the face value of the bond at $2000
=-pv(3.45%,48,58.20,2000)=$ 1,748.41
The bond quoted price is currently $ 1,748.41
