Answer

$\boxed{1,062.81}$

Steps

Step 1 ：Calculate the semiannual coupon rate: $0.07 / 2 = 0.035$

Step 2 ：Calculate the semiannual yield to maturity: $0.06 / 2 = 0.03$

Step 3 ：Calculate the number of periods: $8 * 2 = 16$

Step 4 ：Calculate the coupon payment: $1000 * 0.035 = 35$

Step 5 ：Calculate the present value of the bond: $PV = 35 * (1 - (1 + 0.03)^{-16}) / 0.03 + 1000 * (1 + 0.03)^{-16}$

Step 6 ：$PV = 1062.805510129981$

Step 7 ：$\boxed{1,062.81}$
