What is the price today of a two-year, default-free security with a face value of $1000 and an annual coupon rate of 5.75%? Does this bond trade at a discount, premium, or at par?
2. Explain why the expected return of a corporate bond does not equal its yield to maturity.
3. The prices of several bonds with face values of $1000 are summarized in the following table:
Bond A B C D

                 For each bond, state whether it trades at a discount, at par, or at a premium.
