    Price of the bond is $2392.95

    Explanation:

    Price of the bond is the present value of all cash flows of the bond. Price of the bond is calculated by following formula:

    According to given data

    Coupon payment = C = $2,000 x 5.88% / 2 = $58.8

    Number of periods = n = 2 x 23 years = 46 periods

    Yield to Maturity = r = 4.5% / 2 = 2.25% semiannually

    Price of the Bond = $58.8 x [ (1 - (1 + 2.25%) ^-46) / 2.25% ] + [ $2,000 / (1 + 2.25%) ^46 ]

    Price of the Bond = $58.8 x [ (1 - (1 + 0.0225) ^-46) / 0.0225 ] + [ $2,000 / (1 + 0.0225) ^46 ]

    Price of the Bond = $58.8 x [ (1 - (1.0225) ^-46) / 0.0225 ] + [ $2,000 / (1.0225) ^46 ]

    Price of the Bond = $1674.3 + $718.65 = $2,392.95
