This can't be answered without more information (ie coupon and term/maturity). However, the yield will exceed the coupon rate as the price is less than 100

When the market rate of return for a particular bond is much less than its coupon rate the bond is selling at?
If the current interest rate is lower than the coupon rate, a bond will be priced at a premium. For example, a bond originally issued at par with a 5% coupon would initially yield 5% to an investor. If market rates subsequently dropped to 3%, the bond would be selling at a premium to reflect the lower interest rate. In this example, the original bond sold for $1,000 and had a coupon rate of 5% to yield $50 per year in interest. If interest rates dropped to 3%, the price of the bond would increase to approximately $1,667. A purchaser of the bond would still receive $50 per year in interest which would provide an annual yield of 3% ($50/$1,667 = 3.0%).
Why would investors buy a poorly rated bond?

If your trailer home was repossessed and sold are you responsible for the remaining balance of the loan?
Yes. You are responsible to repay every cent of the loan plus the stated interest rate and the default interest rate if any is stated in the loan papers. The lender is allowed to take possession of your property if you fail to make the scheduled payments on the loan. However, by the time the lender repossesses the property, the value of that property has usually gone down due to neglect or abuse of said property. The lender is bound to get the best sales price for the property. If you owed $10,000 on the loan and the property was sold for $12,000, the lender has to return the extra $2,000 to you. However, if you owed $10,000 and the property sold for $8,000, you would be responsible to pay the $2,000.

How can bonds issued by two companies paying same contractual interest rate be issued at different prices?
To calculate present value of the bond you also need to know market interest rate. If , for example these companies were issuing their bonds in the different time and market interest rate was different then bond could be sold at premium(the bond will cost more then its face value), par (same as face value), and discount (bond will cost less then face value.)

Who decides to issue bonds for a corporation?
corporation, the board of directors is responsible for making the decisions related to a bond issue including determining how much money is to be raised, what type of bond will be sold, what the maturity date will be, and what the interest rate will be.
What type of bond is sold below face value?
Many types of bonds may trade below face value. The reason for this is not based on the type of bond per se, but rather the conditions present in the marketplace. If a bond's coupon rate (the rate it pays its investors on a periodic basis) is below market interest rates for a bond of similar duration, the bond will trade at a discount to par (face value) since investors will have to be compensated in capital gains for what they will be missing out on yield if accepting the bond's coupon as opposed to market interest rates. (Bond prices and interest rates move opposite of one another. As market interest rates rise, the value of already issued bonds fall - sometimes below par value.)
Why does a company that issues bonds between interest dates collect accrued interest from the bond's purchasers?
It makes the interest payment process easier - if accrued interest is collected when the bond is sold, then the payment to all bondholders is the same: the interest amount for 3 or 6 months, or whatever the payment period is
How is a tax-exempt bond different from a bond sold by a company?
A tax exempt bond is issued by a municipality. The tax exempt status is not a property of the bond itself but is a result of tax legislation regarding municipal bond interest as being tax exempt. The interest rates on the bonds (the amount paid to the bond holder) are usually lower than on corporate bonds but because of the tax exempt status the lower rate may or may not result in a higher after tax yield depending on the rates of the two bonds and the tax bracket of the bond holder.
What if the treasury bond rate goes up?
Rates on U.S. government securities such as treasury bonds establish the benchmark for interest rates on all other types of loans. For example, if interest rates rise on treasury bonds, interest rates on consumer loans, car loans and mortgages are almost certain to increase as well. An investor owning individual treasury bond securities would see the value of his bond holdings decline as interest rates increase since there is an inverse relationship between interest rates and bond prices. A loss would occur if an investor sold treasury bond holdings after they declined in value due to a rise in interest rates. A loss on treasury bond holdings could be avoided if the investor holds the bonds to maturity since at that time, the full face value of the bond would be paid to the investor.
I would like to refinance my mortgage. I have a lender who will give me a 5.75 fixed interest rate on a 15 year mortgage. If this mortgage is sold can the interest rate be changed?
If it's truly a fixed-rate mortgage contract, then no, the rate won't change if the mortgage is sold to another lender. Check your contract for any gotcha clauses, though.
