Answer :

Answer:

2.75 percent

Explanation:

A payment bond is usually used by contractors to assure their business partners that the surety bond on the goods and services provided by the subcontractors will be paid. The payment bond is often used with the performance bonds. Therefore, the estimated price change for the payment bond is (-12)*(-0.0025/1.09) = (-12)*(-0.0022936) = 0.0275 = 2.75%

A bond is just a debt that a firm takes out. Rather than going to a bank, the company obtains funds from investors who purchase its bonds. The corporation pays an interest coupon in exchange for the capital, which is the annual interest rate paid on a bond stated as a percentage of the face value.

Correct Option is E.

Required rate of return=9%

Interest rate=25

Bond's duration=12 years

Predicted price=(-12)*(-0.0025/1.09)

Predicted price=(-12)*(-0.0022936)

Predicted price=0.0275=2.75%
