Answer:
Bond Price = $616.6938765 rounded off to $616.69
Explanation:
To calculate the quote/price of the bond today, we will use the formula for the price of the bond. Assuming the bond is a semi annual bond, the semi coupon payment, number of periods and semi annual YTM will be,
Coupon Payment (C) = 1000 * 0.032 * 6/12 = $16
Total periods (n) = 16 * 2 = 32
r or YTM = 0.073 * 6/12 = 0.0365 or 3.65%
The formula to calculate the price of the bonds today is attached.
Bond Price = 16 * [( 1 - (1+0.0365)^-32) / 0.0365] + 1000 / (1+0.0365)^32
Bond Price = $616.6938765 rounded off to $616.69
