Sasha Stills is an investor with $100,000 cash looking to buy some bonds on the market and heard that the market return for tech bonds was 14%. Orion Corporation issued bonds to the market not long ago totaling $100,000 at a 15% stated rate. Does Sasha have enough cash to purchase Orion Corporation’s bonds? Why or why not?
Sasha have not enough cash to purchase Orion corporation's Bonds.
When coupon rate(stated rate) is more than market return (yield rate) then Bonds price would be more than its face value.
In given case,
Face of Bond = $100,000
State rate (Coupon rate) = 15%
Market return (YTM) = 14%
Thus, Price of Bond would be higher than $100,000.
Sasha stills have cash of $100,000 thus she have not enough cash to purchase said bond.
