Question
Anna buys a bond in the secondary market at 100 to another investor in exchange for the bond.B.She will receive $100 from the company that had borrowed money.C.She will NOT make any capital gain or loss.D.Her investment is not risky as she does not make any capital loss.
Solution
The statement that is NOT correct is D. "Her investment is not risky as she does not make any capital loss." This is incorrect because all investments carry some level of risk. Even though Anna is not making a capital loss, there is still a risk that the company could default on its bond payments. Additionally, the value of the bond could decrease due to changes in interest rates or the creditworthiness of the company. Therefore, it is incorrect to say that her investment is not risky.
