If a bond's yield to maturity is less than its coupon rate, the bond will sell at a premium, and increases in market interest rates will decrease this premium.
If the bond's coupon rate is lower than YTM, the bond will be sold at a discounted price. If the bond's coupon rate is higher than its YTM, the bond is sold at a premium. If the bond's coupon equals YTM, the bond is sold at face value.
If the coupon is higher than the yield, investors should expect the bond's capital value to fall over the remaining term. Therefore, the price of the bond must be higher than its face value. If the bond's coupon rate is lower than its lifetime, the bond's price increases over its remaining lifetime.
If the interest rate falls below the coupon, the bond can be sold at a premium above face value. Interest rates on bonds vary according to prevailing interest rates and perceived risks of the issuer. Suppose he has a 10-year bond for $5,000 with a 5% coupon.
