    Current bond price is $891.74

    Explanation:

    Coupon rate: 7%

    Tenor (Nper) : 13 years

    Par value: $1,000

    YTM (discounting rate) : 8.4%

    Coupon received annually (PMT) = $1,000 * 7% = $70

    Current bond price = present value of coupon received annually + present value of bond

    To calculate PV of coupon received, we use excel in formula PV (discounting rate, Nper, - PMT) = PV (8.4%,13,-70) = $541.30

    or calculate manually = 70 / (1+8.4%) ^13+70 / (1+8.4%) ^12+ ... + 70 / (1+8.4%) ^1 = $541.30

    present value of bond = 1000 / (1+8.4%) ^13 = $350.44

    Current bond price = $541.30 + $350.44 = $891.74
