Answer:

$1,017.33

Explanation:

For computing the bond price we have to use the PV function that is shown in the attached spreadsheet which is presented below:

Given that,

Future value or face value = $1,000

Market Rate of interest = 6%

NPER = 4 years

PMT = $1,000 × 6.5% = $65

= PV(Rate,NPER,PMT,FV,type)

So, after solving this, the answer would be $1,017.33
