Homework Answers
Bond holders sell their bonds before maturity if
- the market interest rate is higher than the interest rate on the bond.
If the market rate is higher then, they sell the bond and invest the money in the higher interest paying bonds.
- The bondholder might be in the need of funds. So by selling the bonds he can realize the principal amount.
- There might be a capital gain arising on selling the bond before maturity.
No, the company's financial ratio are not considered before selling the bond. This is because the bonds pay a fixed coupon payment.
