Answer:

$2,365.02

Explanation:

For computing the price we have to applied the Present value formula i.e to be shown in the attachment        

Given that,  

Future value = 2,000

Rate of interest = 5.36%  ÷ 2 = 2.68%

NPER = 14 years  × 2 = 28 years

PMT = $2,000 × 7.230%  ÷ 2 = $72.3

The formula is shown below:

= -PV(Rate;NPER;PMT;FV;type)

So, after applying the above formula, the price of the bond is $2,365.02

The 14 years is taken from

= Year 2033 - year 2019

= 14 years
