Answer each question succinctly yet completely. Be mindful of the multiple parts to each question.
What causes a bond to trade at a discount from its issuance price? What causes a bond to trade at a premium to its issuance price? Would a AAA bond issued in 2006 with a 9% coupon and a 30-year maturity likely be trading at a discount or premium today? Why? At what price do bonds purchased at premiums and bonds purchased at discounts each trade at maturity?
