$542,654

Explanation:

Interest payment (Semi-annual) = 500,000 * 8% * 6/12 = $20,000

PV of principal to be received at the maturity = Par value of bonds * PV factor (r%, n) = 500,000 * PV factor (3%, 10) = 500,000 * 0.7441 = $372,050

PV of interest to be received periodically over the term of the bonds = Interest * PV annuity factor (r%, n) = 20,000 * PV annuity factor (3%, 10) = 20,000 * 8.5302 = $170,604

Issue price of bond = Present value of principal to be received at the maturity + Present value of interest to be received periodically over the term of the bond = $372,050 + $170,604 = $542,654
