7. Question : (TCO D) Which of the following statements is CORRECT?
Student Answer: If a bond is selling at a discount, the yield to call is a better measure of return than the
yield to maturity.
On an expected yield basis, the expected capital gains yield will always be positive because an investor
would not purchase a bond with an expected capital loss.
On an expected yield basis, the expected current yield will always be positive because an investor would
not purchase a bond that is not expected to pay any cash coupon interest.
If a coupon bond is selling at par, its current yield equals its yield to maturity.
The current yield on Bond A exceeds the current yield on Bond B; therefore, Bond A must have a higher
yield to maturity than Bond B.

4.75%. The real risk-free rate is r* = 2.80%, the default risk premium for Crocketts bonds is DRP = 0.85%
versus zero for T-bonds, the liquidity premium on Crocketts bonds is LP = 1.25%, and the maturity risk
premium for all bonds is found with the formula MRP = (t 1) x 0.1%, where t = number of years to
maturity. What is the inflation premium (IP) on five-year bonds?
