Using caclulator TVM functions:

The inputs shall be:

N15
I/Y11%
FV       1,000.00
PMT140

CPT PV= $1,215.73

At 12 years:

N12
I/Y11%
FV       1,000.00
PMT140


CPT PV$    1,194.77


At 9 years:

N9
I/Y11%
FV       1,000.00
PMT140


CPT PV$    1,166.11

At 6 years:

N6
I/Y11%
FV       1,000.00
PMT140


CPT PV$    1,126.92

At 1 year:

N1
I/Y11%
FV       1,000.00
PMT140


CPT PV$    1,027.03

A bond which has coupon rate higher than the yield shall be sold at premium . However as it approaches maturity, the price would decrease to par value. In the graph we can see that as the time to maturity decreases graph moves towards $1,000
