Will issue a new 10 year AA rated corporate bond with a coupon rate of 7.00%. The bond pays interest semi-annually and has a face value of $ 1,000. If existing AA corporate bonds with 10 years to maturity have a yield to maturity of 5.00%, what will be the discount or premium of JAN Corp.’s bond relative to its face value.

The bond is sold at a premium of $1155.89 -$1000 = $155.89

Explanation:

N = 10 years * 2 semiannual =20 payments of interest

coupon interest = 7% /2 =  0.035

market interest = 5% /2 = 0.025

interest = 1000*0.035 = $35 per semiannual

Pv interest for interest = [1-1/(1+0.025)^20]0.025 = 15.89 * $35 = $545.62

Pv for capital = 1000/(1+0.025)^20 = $610

value of the Bond = 610.27+ 545.62 = 1155.89

The market rate is less than the coupon rate meaning the bond is traded at a premium

Pv factor for many years = [1-1/(1+r)^n]/r

this is all on your opinion. you choose what you want to do.
