    Question

    If a bond is issued when prevailing interest rates are

    8% at Rs.1,000 par value with a 8% annual coupon. Which of the following is NOT correct?
    A The bond will sell at discount when the interest rate will increase to 10% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B The bond will sell at premium when the interest rate will increase to 10% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C The coupon of the bond is 8% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Face value of the bond is Rs.1000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E All of the above are correct Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    If interest rates drop to 6%, the bond will continue paying out at 8%, making it a more attractive option. Investors will purchase these bonds, bidding the price up to a premium until the effective rate on the bond equals 8%. On the other hand, if interest rates rise to 10%, the 8% coupon is no longer attractive and the bond price will decrease, selling at a discount until it's effective rate is 8%.
