Answer:

The correct answer is $9432.31.

Explanation:

According to the scenario, The given data are as follows:

Par Value (FV) = $10,000

Time Period = 15 years

Time period (Semi annual) (Nper) = 30

Coupon rate ( semi annual) = 3.3% / 2 = 1.65%

So, payment (pmt) = $10,000 × 1.65% = $165

Yield (r) (semiannual) = 3.8% / 2 = 1.9%

By putting the value in financial calculator, we get

Hence, The price of the bond is $9432.31.
