Correct answer is b. The market interest rate at the time of issue is less than the stated interest rate on the bond because bond sells at a discount.

A discount bond is the opposite of a premium bond, which occurs when the market price of a bond is higher than the price for which it was originally sold. To compare the two in the current market, and to convert older bond prices to their value in the current market, you can use a calculation called yield to maturity.  Bail Bond Agent CA
