View answer resolution

【Answer to question 1】C

【analysis】

C is correct. A callable bond benefits the issuer because it gives the issuer the right to redeem all (or part) of the bonds before the maturity date. Thus, the price of a callable bond will typically be lower than the price of an otherwise identical non-callable bond.

A is incorrect because a convertible bond also benefits bondholders as it gives them the right to convert the bonds into the issuer’s common stock. All else being equal, the price of a convertible bond will typically be higher than the price of an otherwise identical non-convertible bond.

B is incorrect because a putable bond benefits bondholders as it gives them the right to sell the bonds back to the issuer before the maturity date. All else being equal, the price of a putable bond will typically be higher than the price of an otherwise identical non-putable bond.

【Answer to question 2】B

【analysis】

B is correct. Second lien debt has a secured interest in the pledged assets and ranks higher than the unsecured debt, such as senior unsecured bonds and subordinated debt.

A is incorrect because subordinated debts are the lowest rank among those three.

C is incorrect because senior unsecured bonds are a type of unsecured claim. They rank lower than second lien debts, which are secured claims to the pledged assets.
