Question 17 (3.9 points)

Which of the following statements is most correct?

Question 17 options:

Rising inflation makes the actual yield to maturity on a bond greater than the quoted yield to maturity which is based on market prices.

The yield to maturity for a coupon bond that sells at its par value consists entirely of an interest yield; it has a zero expected capital gains yield.

On an expected yield basis, the expected capital gains yield will always be positive because an investor would not purchase a bond with an expected capital loss.

The market value of a bond will always approach its par value as its maturity date approaches. This holds true even if the firm enters bankruptcy.

All of the statements above are false.
