    The bond's price is calculated to be at $864.10.

    Explanation:

    The bond price is equal to the net present value of all cash flow generating from the bonds discounted at the yield to maturity.

    We have: Semi-annual coupon payment = 1,000 x 6%/2 = $30;

    Yield to maturity = 8%/2 = 4%;

    Discounting period = 10 x 2 = 20;

    Face value repayment in 10 year = 1,000;

    Thus, Bond price = Present value of 20 equal semi-annual coupon payments stream + Present value of face value repayment at the end of 10 year = (30/4%) x [ 1 - (1+4%) ^ (-20) ] + [1,000 / (1+4%) ^20] = $864.10.
