- Assume a company plans to make two new bonds issues at the same time. Both will have the same coupon rate and maturity. The firm plans to sell the regular bond at face value, that is, at $1,000 per bond. The second bond will be callable. What must be true about the sale price of this second bond? The price of the bond will have to be lower than $1,000. The price of the bond will have to be higher than $1,000. The price of the bond will have to be equal to $1,000. The price of the bond will be whatever the firm wants it to be. It is not possible to make estimates about the price of the second bond.arrow_forwardQuestion1:Moore Company is about to issue a bond with semiannual coupon payments, a coupon rate of8%, and a par value of $1,000.

- Corporate bonds usually have a call feature embedded in their contract, this means that the company can call those bonds earlier than maturity. This also means the when you price a corporate bond you must calculate the YTM, if the bond is held to maturity, and the YTC, the yield up to the callable period of the bond. A Verizon bond is currently selling for $775 with 7% coupon and a 10 year maturity. Assume the par(face) value is $1,000. Since this corporate bond, it is also callable at 5 years for $1,075 face value. Calculate the YTM and then the YTC. use the approx YTM formula O Can not be determined with the information given.
