Canadian Securities Course (CSC) Practice Exam

Question: 1 / 400

When does a bond sell at a premium?

If the bond price is less than $1000

When YTM is lower than the coupon rate

A bond sells at a premium when its yield to maturity (YTM) is lower than the coupon rate. This means that the bond is offering a lower interest rate than what is currently available in the market. Options A and C are incorrect because they do not specifically relate to the relationship between YTM and coupon rate. Option D may seem like a possible answer, but it does not specifically address the premium price of a bond. In fact, when interest rates decrease, bond prices may increase, however, this does not necessarily mean the bond is selling at a premium. Therefore, B is the most accurate answer.
