Yield = 6% Yield = 6%
A. Company A’s bond is priced higher than Company B’s and Company B’s bond is traded at a premium
B. Company A’s bond is priced lower than Company B’s and Company B’s bond is traded at a premium
C. Company A’s bond is priced higher than Company B’s and Company B’s bond is traded at a discount
D. Company A’s bond is priced lower than Company B’s and Company B’s bond is traded at a discount

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.
