Face value of Bond (FV) = $1,000

Annual coupon on bond (PMT) = $1000 x 8.5% = $85

No. of annual coupons receivable (N) =25

Price of bond (PV) = (-$925)

Yield to maturity of bond = ?

Using financial calculator or RATE function in excel,

Yield to maturity of bond = 9.281%

If Yield to maturity of bond is same after 8 years,

Face value of Bond (FV) = $1,000

Annual coupon on bond (PMT) = $85

No. of annual coupons receivable (N) =17

Yield to maturity of bond = 9.281%

Price of bond (PV) = ?

Using financial calculator or PV function in excel,

Price of bond (PV) = $934.46

Therefore 4th option is correct.
