Bonds A, B, and C all have a maturity of 15 years and a yield to maturity of 9%. Bond A's price exceeds its par value, Bond B's price equals its par value, and Bond C's price is less than its par value. Which of the following statements is CORRECT? If the yield to maturity on the three bonds remains constant, the prices of the three bonds will remain the same over the next year. If the yield to maturity on each bond decreases to 6%, Bond A will have the largest percentage increase in its price. Bond C sells at a premium over its par value. If the yield to maturity on each bond increases to 10%, the prices of all three bonds will decline. Bond A has the most interest rate risk.

Bandon Manufacturing intends to issue callable, perpetual bonds with annual coupon payments and a par value of $1,000. The bonds are callable at $1,260. One-year interest rates are 9 percent. There is a 60 percent probability that long-term interest rates one year from today will be 10 percent, and a 40 percent probability that they will be 8 percent. Assume that if interest rates fall the bonds will be called. What coupon rate should the bonds have in order to sell at par value? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) Coupon rate %
