Answer:
$1,073.60
Explanation:
bond's current price = PV of face value + PV of coupons
maturity = 10 years
face value = $1,000
coupon rate = 7% annual
market rate = 6%
PV of face value = $1,000 / (1 + 6%)¹⁰ =$558.39
PV of coupons = coupon x annuity factor (10 years, 6%) = $70 x 7.3601 = $515.21
market value at issue date = $558.39 + $515.21 = $1,073.60
since the bond's coupon rate was higher than the market rate, the bond was sold at a premium.
