When the contract rate of a corporate bond is lower than the market rate, what happens to the face value of the bond? The contract rate is subtracted from the market rate and the difference is rebated to investors. The difference of interest rates does not affect the face value of the bond. The bond is sold at a discount below face value. The bond is sold at a premium above face value.
