Solution

A bond will be issued at a premium if its stated rate of return is higher than the market rate of return. This is because the bond is more attractive to investors, as it promises a higher return than what is currently available in the market.

Looking at the given information:

  • Bond 1 has a stated rate of return of 5%, which is lower than the market rate of return of 7%. Therefore, it will not be issued at a premium.
  • Bond 2 has a stated rate of return of 10%, which is higher than the market rate of return of 8%. Therefore, it will be issued at a premium.
  • Bond 3 has a stated rate of return of 7%, which is equal to the market rate of return of 7%. Therefore, it will not be issued at a premium.
  • Bond 4 has a stated rate of return of 10%, which is higher than the market rate of return of 9%. Therefore, it will be issued at a premium.

So, the bonds that will be issued at a premium are Bond 2 and Bond 4.
