is this right?

Last month, Jim purchased $10,000 of US Treasury Bonds (their face value was $10,000). These bonds
have a 30-year maturity period, and they pay 1.5% interest every three months (i.e. the APR is 6% and
Jim receives a check for $150 every three months). But interest rates for similar securities have since
risen to a 7% APR because of interest rate increases by the Federal Reserve Board. In view of the
interest rate increases to 7%, what is the current value of Jim's bonds?
