a. Interest received = coupon rate*par value = 8.9*1000/100=89

b.

                  K = N
Bond Price =? [(Annual Coupon)/(1 + YTM)^k]     +   Par value/(1 + YTM)^N
                   k=1
                  K =9
Bond Price =? [(8.9*1000/100)/(1 + 7.9/100)^k]     +   1000/(1 + 7.9/100)^9
                   k=1
Bond Price = 1062.73

c.

                  K = N
Bond Price =? [(Annual Coupon)/(1 + YTM)^k]     +   Par value/(1 + YTM)^N
                   k=1
                  K =9
Bond Price =? [(8.9*1000/100)/(1 + 6.9/100)^k]     +   1000/(1 + 6.9/100)^9
                   k=1
Bond Price = 1130.86

BOnd price increased by 1130.86-1062.73=68.13
