Calculate the value of bond B shown in the following table, all of which pay interest semiannually. <image 1>


The correct answer is $561.25

First, calculate the semiannual coupon payment: 1000121000 * 12% / 2 = 60

Next, calculate the number of semiannual periods until maturity: 20 years * 2 = 40 periods

Then, calculate the present value of the bond's future cash flows using the semiannual yield to maturity of 6%: 60/(1+0.06)1+60 / (1 + 0.06)^1 + 60 / (1 + 0.06)^2 + ... + 60/(1+0.06)40+60 / (1 + 0.06)^40 + 1000 / (1 + 0.06)^40 = $561.25
