解释:
Correct Answer: B
Issuers in the high-yield market often seek to retain financial flexibility by borrowing under leveraged loans with prepayment features or issuing bonds with contingency features, such as callable debt. A is incorrect because high-yield investors benefit from higher bond prices as issuer-specific credit spreads fall, but in the case of callable debt, these gains are capped at the call price and not the original purchase price. C is incorrect because issuers who believe that their creditworthiness will not decline frequently choose to issue callable debt, because the value of this contingency feature rises as a firm’s borrowing costs fall.
because the value of this contingency feature rises as a firm’s borrowing costs fall. 这句话的意思有点不理解 为什么contingency feature rises as a firm’s borrowing costs fall
