Answer to Question 1

At 7 interest the price of the bond would have been 100 because you would need 100 invested at 7 to receive 107 next year. If the interest rate falls to 3 we can use the formula that says the price of the bond is the promised payment divided by one plus the interest rate to calculate that the price would now be 103.88. The price of the bond has risen because at the lower interest rate you would need to invest a larger sum in order to receive 107 next year.

Answer to Question 2

C
