Question

The structure of repayment for most long-term bonds consists of a. fixed coupon payments every year until maturity. b. interest payments that vary by the yield to maturity each year. c. fixed coupon payments each year plus the face value or par value at maturity. d. converted payments from interest to dividends halfway to the bond's maturity. e. a balloon payment at maturity.

Answer 1

The correct answer is letter "B": interest payments that vary by the yield to maturity each year.

Step-by-step explanation:

Bonds are investments in the form of loans that companies provide. The firm pays investors a coupon yield, which is the annual or semiannual interest paid on the principal of the bond purchased. The payments continue until the bond reaches its maturity or the amount of the principal is completely paid off.
