Market price of Bond = $1872.135629 rounded off to $1872.14

Explanation:

To calculate the price of the bond, we need to first calculate the coupon payment per period. We assume that the interest rate provided is stated in annual terms. As the bond is a semi annual bond, the coupon payment, number of periods and semi annual YTM will be,

Coupon Payment (C) = 2000 * 0.0566 * 1/2 = $56.6

Total periods (n)= 16 * 2 = 32

r = 6.3% * 1/2 = 3.15% or 0.0315

The formula to calculate the price of the bonds today is attached.

Bond Price = 56.6 * [( 1 - (1+0.0315)^-32) / 0.0315]  +  2000 / (1+0.0315)^32

Bond Price = $1872.135629 rounded off to $1872.14
