Match List - I with List - II : Choose the correct answer from the options given below :List - I (Item) List - II (Description) A. Par value I. Specified interest rate B. Maturity period II. Number of years after which the value is payable to holders C. Coupon rate III. Amount by which a bond sells at a value higher than par value D. Premium IV. Value on the face of the bond
This question requires matching financial terms related to bonds found in List - I with their correct descriptions in List - II. Let's break down each item:
We need to correctly associate each term from List - I (A, B, C, D) with its corresponding description in List - II (I, II, III, IV).
Par value, also known as face value, is the nominal value or dollar value of a security stated by the issuer. For bonds, it's the amount paid to the bondholder at maturity. It's the value printed on the face of the bond certificate.
Therefore, Par value matches with: IV. Value on the face of the bond.
The Maturity period of a bond is the length of time until the bond issuer has to repay the principal amount to the bondholder. It's the lifespan of the bond.
Therefore, Maturity period matches with: II. Number of years after which the value is payable to holders.
The Coupon rate is the annual interest rate paid on a bond, expressed as a percentage of the bond's face value (par value). This is the fixed interest payment the bondholder receives.
Therefore, Coupon rate matches with: I. Specified interest rate.
A Premium occurs when a bond's market price is higher than its par value. This usually happens when the bond's coupon rate is higher than the prevailing market interest rates.
Therefore, Premium matches with: III. Amount by which a bond sells at a value higher than par value.
Based on the explanations above, the correct matching is:
This corresponds to the combination A-IV, B-II, C-I, D-III.
