Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This bond has a coupon of 8.0% and a yield-to-maturity of 7.0%, indicating that the bond is trading at a premium. The price of a bond will always trend towards par as maturity approaches. Given that this bond is trading at a premium (e.g. 105% of par), the price would need to decrease to arrive at par value
