Which of the following statements is CORRECT If a 10-year, $1,000 par, zero coupon bond were issued at a price that gave investors a 10% yield to maturity, and if interest rates then dropped to the point where rd=YTM= 5%, the bond would sell at a premium over its $1,000 par value. Other things held constant, a callable bond would have a lower required rate of return than a noncallable bond because it would have a shorter expected life. Bonds are exposed to both reinvestment rate and interest rate price risk. Longer-term low-coupon bonds, relative to shorter-term high-coupon bonds, are generally more exposed to reinvestment rate risk than interest rate price risk. Other things held constant, including the coupon rate, a corporation would rather issue noncallable bonds than callable bonds. If a 10 -year, $1,000 par, 10% coupon bond were issued at par, and if interest rates then dropped to the point where rd=YTM=5%, we could be sure that the bond would sell at a premium above its $1,000 par value
