Answer: $1,000

Explanation:

When the coupon rate and the yield to maturity are the same, a bond always trades at par.

In this scenario, the bond coupon is 6% and so is the Yield to maturity. the bond price must therefore be $1,000.

If the yield to maturity was lower than the coupon rate, the bond would have been priced above $1,000 as it would be a premium bond and if the YTM had been higher than the coupon rate, the price would be lower than $1,000 as it would be a discount bond.
