Price of bond is the present value of cash flows from bond.
Present Value of coupon interest $     677.08
Present value of Par Value $       97.22
Present Value of cash flows $     774.31
So, price of bond is $ 774.31
Working:
# 1 Semi annnual coupon interest = Face Value * Semi annual coupon rate
= 1000*4.5%
= $       45.00
# 2 Present value of annuity of 1 = (1-(1+i)^-n)/i Where,
= (1-(1+0.06)^-40)/0.06 i 6%
= 15.046297 n 40
# 3 Present value of 1 = (1+i)^-n
= (1+0.06)^-40
= 0.0972222
# 4 Present Value of coupon = Coupon Interest * Present Value of annuity of 1
= $       45.00 * 15.0463
= $     677.08
# 5 Present value of face value = Face Value * Present value of 1
= $ 1,000.00 * 0.097222
= $       97.22
