Explanation / Answer

Face value of bond = $1,000

Coupon rate = 7%

Semi-annual coupon amount = $1,000 * 7% *1/2 = $35

Yield to maturity (YTM) = 7.77%

Semi-annual YTM = 7.77%/2 = 3.885% = 0.03885

Remaining years to maturity = 9 years

Remaining half years to maturity = 9 years * 2 = 18

Market price of bond = Present value of remaining coupon payments + Present value of face value of bond

Present vlaue of annuity of equal amount = Annuity * {1-(1+r)-n}/r

Present value of remaining coupon payments = $35 * (1-1.03885-18)/0.03885 = $35*12.7785 = $447.25

Present value = Future value / (1+r)n

Present value of face value of bond = $1,000/1.0388518 = $1,000/1.9859 = $503.55

Market price of bond = $447.25 + $503.55 = $950.80

Market price as a percentage of face value = $950.80/$1,000 = 95.08%
