Given: Coupon rate (6.55%), maturity (15 years), purchase YTM (6.15%). Adjust coupon and maturity for semi-annual periods: Coupon per period = 6.55% / 2 = 3.275%. Number of periods = 15 years * 2 = 30 periods. Use the bond pricing formula: Price = (Coupon * (1 - (1 + YTM/2)^-Number of periods)) / (YTM/2 + (1 + YTM/2)^-Number of periods)
