John Invested in a New Issue Corporate Bond on the Primary

question 71

True/False

John invested in a new issue corporate bond on the primary market for $1,000, with a coupon rate of 7%, and a maturity date of 2025. The bond was held in his brokerage account electronically, so he did not think about it on a daily basis. In 2020, he thought about selling the bond on the secondary market to help pay for his school tuition. At that time, interest rates had climbed to 8.5%. This was great news for John because now he could sell his bond for more than the principal amount he would receive in 2025.
