Ответ:
B. Company A’s bond is priced lower than Company B’s and Company B’s bond is traded at a premium
Explanation:
Discount bond ⇒ Bond coupon rate is less than yield which leads to bond having a lower than par price.
Premium bond ⇒ Bond coupon rate is more than yield which leads to bond having higher than par price.
Company A therefore has a discount bond that has a low price compared to Company B which has a premium bond which means that its price is relatively high.
Company B's bond is therefore priced higher than Company A's bond.
