Could this please be checked for me:
A bond matures in 10 years. The bond has a coupon rate of 5% paid semi-annually and its face value is $1000. The market interest rate for similar bonds is 7%.
What is the value of this bond?
FV = $1000
CF = 5% x FV = $50
i = 7%
n = 10 years
m = 2 (Semi-annually)

= 50/2 / 0.07/2 x [1 - 1 / (1+0.07/2)^2x10] + 1000 / (1+0.07/2)^2x10
= 25/.14 x [1- 1 / (1+0.035)^20] + 1000 / (1+.035)^20
= 178.5714285 x [ 1 - 1 / (1.035)^20] + 1000 / (1.035)^20
= 178.5714285 x [ 1 - 1 / 1.989788863465846] + 1000 / 1.989788863465846
= 178.5714285 x [1 - 0.50256588443166982] + 502.565878652811814495
= 178.5714285 x [0.49743411556833018] + 502.565878652811814495
= 88.82752060167080960226213 + 502.565878652811814495
= 591.39339925448262409726213
= $591.39
The value of the bond is $591.39
The bond is sold at a discount of $408.61
Discount = $1000 - $591.39
