Consider a bond with semiannual coupons and with 15 years to maturity. The annual coupon rate is 5% and the current annual yield to maturity is 5%. The face value is 1000$. How the price of the bond changes for the next 6 months (including the time of the next coupon payment) in the efficient market? Assume that the yield to maturity of the bond does not change over next 6 months. a. The price increases monotonically to 1025$ and then drops to 1000$ right after the next coupon is paid b. The price increases monotonically to 1025$ and then drops to 975$ right after the next coupon is paid c. The price decreases monotonically to 975$ and then rises to 1000$ right after the next coupon is paid d. The price of the bond changes randomly around 1000$ e. The price of the bond is always 1000$
