Bonds often pay a coupon twice a year. For the valuation of bonds that make semi-annual payments, the number of periods doubles, whereas the amount of cash flow decreases by half. Using the values of cash flows and the number of periods, the valuation model is adjusted accordingly.

Assume that a $1000000 par value, semi-annual coupon U.S. Treasury note with 5 years to maturity (YTM) as a coupon rate of 6%. The yield to maturity of the bond is 11%. Using this information and ignoring the other costs involved, calculate the value of the Treasury note:

- $689825.45

- $973871.22

- $811559.35

- $511282.39

Base don your calculations and understanding of semi-annual coupon bonds, complete the following statement:

Assuming that interest rates remain constant, the T-notes's price is expected to _____.
