Explanation / Answer

Face Value = $6,070,000

Annual Coupon Rate = 10%
Semiannual Coupon Rate = 5%
Semiannual Coupon = 5% * $6,070,000
Semiannual Coupon = $303,500

Annual Interest Rate = 12%
Semiannual Interest Rate = 6%

Time to Maturity = 8 years
Semiannual Period to Maturity = 16

Issue Price = $303,500 * VPVA of $ (6%, 16) + $6,070,000 * PV of $1 (6%, 16)
Issue Price = $303,500 * 10.106 + $6,070,000 * 0.394
Issue Price = $5,458,751

So, the issue price of the bond is $5,458,751
