Could you elaborate on the process of determining the dollar price of a bond? Specifically, how does one calculate the present value of the bond's future coupon payments and the repayment of the principal at maturity? What factors influence this calculation, such as the bond's coupon rate, the prevailing interest rates in the market, and the bond's maturity date? Is there a formula or methodology that is typically used to arrive at the dollar price of a bond? And finally, how does this dollar price fluctuate over time, considering variables like market conditions and economic outlook?

At the time of issuance, this dollar price is typically equivalent to the bond's face or par value.

The face value, often referred to as the principal, is the amount that the issuer promises to repay the investor at the bond's maturity.

For instance, if a bond has a face value of $1,000 and is issued at its par value, the investor pays $1,000 to acquire the bond.
