    Price of the bond at the end of 2 years is $823.99

    Explanation:

    Since the coupons are paid, quarterly, adjust the interest rate, coupon payment and total duration to quarterly. Also, note that there are 4 quarters in a year.

    Two years later, the time to maturity would be; N = 8*4 = 32 quarters

    Quarterly interest rate in this case; I/Y = 8%/4 = 2%

    Face value of the bond; FV = $1,000

    Quarterly Coupon Payment (PMT) = coupon rate * Face Value

    PMT = (5%/4) * 1,000 = $12.5

    After keying in the above inputs, CPT PV = 823.987

    Therefore, to the nearest dollar, the Price of the bond at the end of 2 years is $823.99
