Answer:

Bond Price​= $1,115.58

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Par value= $1,000

Cupon= $35

Time= 10*4= 40 quarters

Rate= 0.12/4= 0.03

To calculate the price of the bond, we need to use the following formula:

Bond Price​= cupon*{[1 - (1+i)^-n] / i} + [face value/(1+i)^n]

Bond Price​= 35*{[1 - (1.03^-40)] / 0.03} + [1,000/(1.03^40)[

Bond Price​= 809.02 + 306.56

Bond Price​= $1,115.58
