    9.35%

    Explanation:

    Annual coupon amount = Coupon rate * Fave value of bond = 7% * 1,000 = $70.

    Expected current yield = Annual coupon amount : Current market price per bond = $70 : $749.04 = 0.0935, or 9.35%.

    Therefore, the expected current yield for the next year on this bond issue is 9.35%.
