      Question

       Which of the following methods of redeeming the bonds

      before maturity is generally considered the most detrimental for bondholders?
      A Call provision Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Put provision Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Tender offer Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Both a and c Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of the above Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      The call provision gives the issuer the right to purchase the bonds at a given price, which the issuer would not do unless that price was below the market price. This is detrimental for bondholders as they will get call price as a redemption price and will face reinvestment risk as they will have to invest their proceedings at a lower rate.
