选项:
A.bullet bond.
B.fully amortized bond.
C.partially amortized bond.
解释:
B is correct.
A bond that is fully amortized is characterized by a fixed periodic payment schedule that reduces the bond’s outstanding principal amount to zero by the maturity date. The stream of £230.97 payments reflects the cash flows of a fully amortized bond with a coupon rate of 5% and annual interest payments.
