    The price of the bonds is $ 1,276.

    Explanation:

    The value of bond or issue price can be calculated by discounting all future cash flow using effective rate of retun. Detail calculations are given below.

    Future Value = Redemption present value (RPV) + Present value of interest (PVI)

    RPV = 1,000 (1+5%) ^-15 = $ 481 - A

    PVI = 36.25 * Annuity factor = $ 759 - B

    Future Value = A + B = $ 1,276

    Annuity factor = (1 - (1+i%) ^-n) / i% = (1 - (1+5%/2) ^-30) / (5%/2) = 20.9303
