Solution
Coupon Rate = 7.5%
 Face Value, FV = 1000
 Annual Coupon Payment, PMT = 7.5%*1000 = 75
 
 Year to Maturity, N = 13
 If yield to Maturity, i = 8.2%
Then,
 Price of Bond = Present Value of coupon payment for 13 Yrs at 8.2% + Present Value of FV after 13 Yrs at 8.2%
 Price of Bond = 75/(1+8.2%)1 + 75/(1+8.2%)2 + 75/(1+8.2%)3 + ...................75/(1+8.2%)13 + 1000/(1+8.2%)13
 Price of Bond = 75/(1.082)1 + 75/(1.082)2 + 75/(1.082)3 + ...................75/(1.082)13 + 1000/(1.082)13
 Price of Bond = 945.28
After 1 Year,
 Year to Maturity, N = 12
 If yield to Maturity, i = 7.8%
Then,
 Price of Bond = Present Value of coupon payment for 12 Yrs at 7.8% + Present Value of FV after 12 Yrs at 7.8%
 Price of Bond = 75/(1+7.8%)1 + 75/(1+7.8%)2 + 75/(1+7.8%)3 + ...................75/(1+7.8%)12 + 1000/(1+7.8%)12
 Price of Bond = 75/(1.078)1 + 75/1.078)2 + 75/(1.078)3 + ...................75/(1.078)12 + 1000/(1.078)12
 Price of Bond = 977.16
Change in Dollars = 977.16 - 945.28
 Change in Dollars = $ 31.88
