Price of bond is basically the PV of all cashflows associated with the bonds - namely coupons and maturity amount.
Price of bond can be calculated using the formula:
C = 60, i = 7%, n = 20, M = 1000
P = 635.6409 + 258.419
P = $894.06
Current Yield = Annual Coupon/Current Price of Bond = 60/894.06 = 6.71%
