(A) What happens when the annual coupon rate is increased?

(B) What happens when the yield to maturity is increased?

(C) What happens when the number of payments / year is increased?

(D) What happens when the face value is increased?

(E) What is the relationship between the price of a par bond and time to maturity? Try this question both when the YTM = coupon rate, and when YTM coupon rate, and see the differences.

(F) What happens when the annual coupon rate is increased to the point that it equals the yield to maturity? What happens when it is increased further?
