A few years ago Mannix Investigations issued a bond that has a maturity value equal to $1,000 and a coupon interest rate equal to 7 percent.The yield to maturity (YTM) on the bond currently is 9 percent. If interest rates in the financial markets do not change for the remainder of the bond's life, what should happen to the market value of the bond as its maturity date nears?
