Answer:
interest rate = 15%
value of the bond will decrease
Explanation:
given data
face value = $5,000
time = 5 year
annual coupon payment = $150
solution
we get here interest rate on the borrowed funds that will be as
interest rate = [tex]\frac{annual\ coupon}{face\ value/time}[/tex] × 100
put here value we get
interest rate = [tex]\frac{150}{\frac{5000}{5} }[/tex] × 100
interest rate = 15%
and
when bond issued at interest rate = 3 %
but market interest rate 4%
so seller will reduce price of bond less than the face value
because we will look for atleast 4% payout when bond matures
so value of the bond will decrease
