In the first case

Given that

Assume the par value i.e. future value be $1,000

PMT = $1,000 × 9% = $90

RATE = 9%

NPER = 7

The formula is shown below

=-PV(RATE;NPER;PMT;FV;TYPE)

After applying the above formula, the present value is $863.09

In the second case

Given that

Assume the par value i.e. future value be $1,000

PMT = $1,000 × 9% = $90

RATE = 9%

NPER = 6

The formula is shown below

=-PV(RATE;NPER;PMT;FV;TYPE)

After applying the above formula, the present value is $876.66

So as we can see that the price of the bond would increased
