Multiple Choice

Which of the following statements is false?

• A) The assumption that underlies the yield calculation of a callable bond-that it will not be called-is not always realistic, so bond traders often quote the yield to call.
• B) The yield to call (YTC) is the annual yield of a callable bond assuming that the bond is called at the earliest opportunity.
• C) We can think of the yield to maturity of a callable bond as the interest rate the bondholder receives if the bond is not called and repaid in full.
• D) Because the price of a callable bond is higher than the price of an otherwise identical non-callable bond, the yield to maturity of a callable bond will be lower than the yield to maturity for its non-callable counterpart.
