Fixed Income Q91

0. A bond was purchased two years back at a price above par value. The carrying value of this bond today will most likely be equivalent to the purchase price

  • Option : A
  • Explanation : Carrying value of a bond is computed using the effective interest rate method. It is the price along the bond's constant- yield price trajectory. For premium bonds, as the premium is amortized, the book value of the bond will decrease until we reach face value at maturity. The question tells us that the bond was purchased above par, therefore it is a premium bond. So among the three options A is correct.
