98.96. A calculator is not required for this. Even Bubba knows the bond is obviously trading at a slight discount by yielding 5.10% instead of the coupon rate of 5%. If the yield was the same as the coupon rate, the price is 100.00.
Question: 14
Bonds are most often quoted as a percentage of:
A. face value
B. book value
C. market value
D. whatever value the broker says
Answer: A
Explanation:
face value. The price is 100.00 if the yield is the same as the coupon rate. A price of less than 100.00 means the yield is higher than the coupon rate. A price of more than 100.00 means the yield is lower than the coupon rate. The prices are a percentage of 100.00. However, treasury bonds and municipal bonds are not quoted in this way.
