Answer:
Multiple choices below are missing:
A) purchase Bond A
B) purchase Bond B
C) purchase neither A nor B at this time
D) negotiate a higher rate on Bond A
The correct option is A,purchase bond A.
Explanation:
By purchasing Bond A,Lee is assured interest payment of 7.5% for a period of twenty years,hence the issuer cannot call the bond if interest rate drops by 2% in order to issue a lower interest-bearing bond which would be cheaper cost-wise.
However, if Lee purchases Bond B with current coupon of 8.25%,the interest is only guaranteed for a period of two years,since the issuer has the prerogative of calling back the bond after two years should interest fall in order to issue another bond that commands lower interest rate.
