nper = 8 (years remaining until maturity with 1 annual coupon payment each year)
pmt = 1000 * 7% (annual coupon payment = face value * coupon rate)
pv = -1065 (Current price of bond. This is entered with a negative sign because it is a cash outflow to buy the bond today).
fv = 1000 (face value of bond receivable at maturity).
RATE is calculated to be 5.96%. This is the YTM.
