Explanation / Answer

Since FV is not mentioned, we take by default FV = $100.

Given C = 6.45% OF 100 = $6.45; r=7.9%=0.079, n= 15

Initial Bond Price = [C(1-(1/(1+r)n))/r ]+ FV / (1 + r)n

Initial Bond Price = [6.45(1-(1/(1.079)15))/0.079] + 100/(1.07915)

Initial Bond Price = $87.515

After One Year, YTM = 75 -> r=0.07, n=14, FV=100, $C=6.45

Final Bond Price = [6.45(1-(1/(1.07)14))/0.07] + 100/(1.0714)

Final Bond Price = $95.1899

Chnage in Price = 95.1899-87.515 = $7.67

Therefore change in price = $7.67
