Answer to Problem 1MCQ

Option b. The bond trades at $975 per $1,000 bond.

Explanation of Solution

Bonds: Bonds are long-term promissory notes that are issued by a company while borrowing money from investors to raise fund for financing the operations.

Buying and selling of bond in the market at 971/2 means that the bond is traded at 97.5% or at

$975 per $1,000 bond and it is issued less than the face value of the bond ($975<$1,000).

Therefore, Option b. The bond trades at $975 per $1,000 bond is the correct option and the other options of a, c and d are incorrect.
