Q1. Which of the following embedded options most likely benefits the bondholder?

A)   Prepayment option on an amortizing security.

B)   Put provision at par on a bond that is trading at a premium.

C)   Interest rate cap on a floating-rate bond.

Correct answer is B)

A put provision is an option that is exercisable by, and therefore potentially of benefit to, the bondholder. Even though the put is out of the money, it still has value to the bondholder. Interest rate caps and prepayment options both potentially benefit the issuer of the bond.

 

Q2. Which of the following embedded options benefits the bond investor?

A)   Call provision.

B)   Prepayment option.

C)   Put provision.

Correct answer is C)

A put provision allows the investor to put the bond back to the issuer.
