Problem:
John owns a corporate bond with a coupon rate of 8% that matures in 10 years. Bill owns a corporate bond with a coupon rate of 12% that matures in 25 years. If interest rates go up, then:
- The value of John's bond will increase and the value of Bill's bond will decrease.
- The value of Bill's bond will increase more than the value of John's bond due to the longer time to maturity.
- The value of both bonds will remain the same because they were both purchased in an earlier time period before the interest rate changed.
