Considering the following two bonds:

Bond A: 5% Coupon; 5 Year Maturity

Bond B: 6% Coupon; 5 Year Maturity

The current yield on both bonds is 3%

Explain conceptually (without any calculations) the followings:

-Which bond will have higher price and why.

-Which bond price change will be greater (and why) if the yield changes to 4%.

Also explain what does the yield-to-maturity (YTM) measure? And what are the issue(s) using the YTM as a measure.
