Annual coupon=$500*4%

=$20

Hence current price=Annual coupon*present value of annuity factor(7%,5)+$500*present value of discounting factor(7%,5)

Present value of annuity="(\\frac{1-(1+interest\\ rate)^{-time\\ period}}{interest\\ rate})"

="(\\frac{1-(1.04)^{-5}}{0.04})"

=4.451822331

Present value of discounting="\\frac{1}{{(1+rate})^{time\\ period}}"

="\\frac{1}{1.04^{5}}"

=0.8219271068

Present value =$20*4.451822331+$500*0.8219271068

=$89.03644662+$410.9635534

=$500

It sells at it's face value hence a par bond.
