A corporate bond has a face value of $10,000, a coupon rate of interest of 8.25% per annum, payable semi-annually, and six and a half years remaining to maturity. The market interest rate for bonds of similar risk and maturity is currently 9.5% per annum, what is the present value of the bond?

A few years ago you paid $10,000 to buy a corporate bond with a face value (maturity value) of $10,0 that has a coupon rate of % payable semi-annually (pays $200 every 6 months ). If the bond matures in 10 years, how much is it worth today if the interest rate for similar bonds is 6% compounded semi-annually?
