Answer:
Correct option is (c)
Explanation:
Face value of bond is $1,000. If investors feel that bond issued by Springfield is less attractive than other bonds, this means either the bond is offering a coupon rate lower than market interest rate prevailing in the market as compared to other bonds.
In this case, bond will be sold at a price lower than its face value. This is also called discount bonds. Price of the bond falls as investors feel they can buy a similar bond that offers better returns.
Out of all options, $875 is lower than face value of $1,000, so, bond would be most likely sold at $875.
