Question

A 15-year bond with a face value of $1,000 currently sells for $850. Which of the following statements is CORRECT?
a. The bond's coupon rate exceeds its current yield.
b. The bond's current yield exceeds its yield to maturity.
c. The bond's yield to maturity is greater than its coupon rate.
d. The bond's current yield is equal to its coupon rate.
If the yield to maturity stays constant until the bond matures, the bond's price will remain at $850.

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is letter C

Explanation:

The bond's yield to maturity is greater than its coupon rate.

Because the bond coupon rate it is the annual coupon payments, considering that a coupon rate is a fixed income security's yield paid, it means that in this question,  the amount of the bond's face value is higher than the income.
