Simply enter N as years to maturity, I/YR as the going annual interest rate, PMT as the annual coupon payment (calculated as the annual coupon interest rate times the face value of the bond), and FV as the stated maturity value. Once those inputs are entered in your financial calculator, you can solve for PV, the value of the bond. Remember that the signs for PMT and FV should be the same, so PV will have an opposite sign.
