Several years ago, Castles in the sand Inc. issued bonds at face value of 1,000 at a yield to maturity of 8.6%. Now, with 7 years left until the maturity of the bonds, the company has run into hard times and the yield to maturity on the bonds has increased to 15%. What is the price of the bond now? (Assume semi-annual coupon payments)

The expectation is that investors will receive only 80% of face value at maturity. If they buy the bond today, what yield to maturity do they expect to receive?
