Present value of principal payments at maturity


Question:

I have a $1000 bond which matures in 10 years with current market interest rate of 8%.If I know that the bond pays $30 every six months, then how can I find out what the yield to maturity is, expressed on a semiannual basis. I need the yield to maturity rate in order to calculate the present value of interest payments and the present value of principal payments at maturity.
