Answer:
The value of the bond is 1,003.8771 after subtracting the accrued interest to the market value of the bond.
Explanation:

we should calcualte the interst and subtract to get the bond value:
principal x rate x time = interest
rate and time should match, so the 5% rate should be convert into a 2.5% rate and we express time as portion of 182 days:
1,000 x 0.025 x (22-7)/182 = 2,060439 = 2.060439 interest
1,005.9375 - 2.0604 = 1,003.8771
