Answer #1

Rate = 16%/ 2 = 8%

Number of periods = 15 * 2 = 30

Coupon = ( 1,000 * 0.14) / 2 = 70

Current price = Coupon * [ 1 - 1 / ( 1 + r)n] / r + FV / ( 1 + r)n

Current price = 70 * [ 1 - 1 / ( 1 + 0.08)30] / 0.08 + 1000 / ( 1 + 0.08)30

Current price = 70 * 11.257783 + 99.37733

Current price = $887.42
