sub part (i): it says ‘coupon of 5% but at a discount or a premium’ ….
now, by ‘discount or a premium’, i took it to mean he is talking about whether the redemption should be at par or at a premium.
in the answer he assumes that the redemption is at par. why is he doing this?
( i have a follow up so please dont close the thread)
regards
Please tell me which exam the question is in.
December 2011 25 marker question. Levante
‘Discount or premium’ is not referring to the redemption. The question says “Issue the new bond at a fixed coupon of 5% but at a premium or a discount”, so instead of issuing at par they will issue at either less or more than at par.
Redemption is always assumed to be at par unless specifically told otherwise.
