Answer:
$834.73
Explanation:
the market value of the bonds is calculated by adding the present value of its maturity value (face value) + the present value of its coupon payments. The discount rate will be the market rate instead of the coupon rate:
PV of face value = $1,000 / (1 + 6.5%)²⁰ = $283.80
PV of coupon payments = $50 x 11.01851 (PV annuity factor, 6.5%, 20 periods) = $550.93
the bond's market value = $283.80 + $550.93 = $834.73
