On February 9, 2015, Hunter-Gratzner, Inc. issued a 10 year bond (with a typical $1000 face value) that had an annual coupon value of $42. We will assume that the 2022 coupon has just been redeemed.
Initially (in 2015), the bond was sold at the premium price of $1,037.
On February 9, 2022, this bond was selling for $972.
The market rate of interest for a riskless corporate bond, of this maturity (i.e., a U.S. Treasury security), was 1.75% on February 9, 2015, which reflected market expectations about future rates of inflation.
The market rate of interest for a riskless corporate bond, of this maturity (i.e., a U.S. Treasury security), was 2.05% on February 9, 2022, which reflects market expectations about future rates of inflation.
