calculate current bond prices

If I have 9 percent coupon bonds on the market that have 8 years left to maturity and the bonds make annual payments. The yield to maturity (YTM) on these bonds is 7 percent, what is the current bond price?

The price is the PV of the remaining cash flows when discounted at the YTM. You've got 8 remaining coupon payments, plus the maturity payoff--discount those and you're good to go.

Check back in if you need a bigger push, but you'll need to show your efforts toward the solution for more specific guidance.
