Answer #1
I got $1008.18.

I basically plugged in the following into a financial calculator:
N = 3 years
I = 6.69%
PMT = 70 (the annual coupon payments)
FV = 1000

This returns PV = -$1008.18

I guess that makes sense. The coupon rate is higher than the market rate, so we have to pay a very small premium above $1000.
