Assume spot rates right now are as follows.

A newly issued 2-year bond pays a coupon rate of 1.5% (assume semiannual payments - use the convention (1+r/2)t where r is the simple annual interest rate and t refers to the number of semiannual periods) and has a par value of $1,000.

Suppose there is a futures contract available on this bond that calls for delivery of the bond immediately after it makes its first coupon payment. What is the no-arbitrage futures price today?
