Computation of Current Bond's Price using PV Function in Excel:

=-pv(rate,nper,pmt,fv)

Here,
PV = Current Bond Price = ?

Rate = 5.4%/2 = 2.7% compounded semiannually 

Nper = (14 years-1 year) * 2 = 26 periods 

PMT = $1,000*7.1% = $35.50

FV = $1,000

Substituting the values in formula:

=-pv(2.7%,26,35.50,1000)

PV or Current Bond's Price = $1,157.34

So, Current Bond's Price is $1,165.51
