In order to determine the profit or loss on calling of the bond, it is necessary to compare the current price of the bond with the call price.
Current price of bond (using a financial calculator):
N = 6 years ......(maturity - time of call)
I/Y = 9 .......(interest rate in market)
PMT = 70 ......(1000 * 7%)
FV = 1000
CPT --> PV = 910.28
This means that the current price of the bond is $910.28 whereas the call price is $1,050, thus, if the company call back the bond now, it shall be facing a loss of $139.71 (1050 - 910.28) $140
