Question
Activity 2:
Q3) Which of the following statements is FALSE?
A A bond trades at par when its coupon rate is equal to its yield to maturity.
B A bond trades at premium when its coupon rate is greater than its yield to maturity.
C A bond that has zero coupon rate is a discount bond.
D If a coupon bond's yield to maturity exceeds its coupon rate, the present value of its cash flows at the yield to maturity will be greater than its face value. SUBMIT
Solution
The false statement is:
D. If a coupon bond's yield to maturity exceeds its coupon rate, the present value of its cash flows at the yield to maturity will be greater than its face value.
This statement is false because if a bond's yield to maturity is greater than its coupon rate, the bond is trading at a discount, not a premium. This means the present value of its cash flows at the yield to maturity will be less than its face value, not greater.
