What would be the value of the bond described in Part d if, just after it had been issued, the expected inflation rate rose by 3 percentage points, causing investors to require a 13% return? Would we now have a discount or a premium bond? What would happen to the bond’s value if inflation fell and rd declined to 7%? Would we now have a premium or a discount bond? What would happen to the value of the 10-year bond over time if the required rate of return remained at 13%? If it remained at 7%? (Hint: With a financial calculator, enter PMT, I/YR, FV, and N, and then change N to see what happens to the PV as the bond approaches maturity.)

Bond will sell for less than the par value, its price in 3 years will be lower. O b. Bond will sell for less than the par value, its price in 3 years will be higher. O. Bond will sell for less than the par value, its price in 3 years will be unchanged. O d. Bond will sell for more than the par value, its price in 3 years will be unchanged. O e. Bond will sell for more than the par value, its price in 3 years will be lower. O f. Bond will sell for more than the par value, its price in 3 years will be higher.
