1) The last statement is correct.
Default risk is the same for bonds from the same company. Other statements are incorrect.
2) There could be two answer depending on the frequency of coupon payments.
Coupon payment can be calculated using PMT function on a calculator
If coupons are paid semi-annually, ,then
N = 7 x 2 = 14, PV = -950, FV = 1000, I/Y = 9.4%/2 = 4.7%
=> Compute PMT = $42.05 would be the semi-annual payment
If coupons are paid annually, then
N = 7, I/Y = 9.4%, PV = -950, FV = 1000
=> Compute PMT = $83.93 would be the annual payment.
