The comparable bonds pay a 5% interest rate when the approximate market value of a $1,000 corporate bond is $1,200 and it pays 6 percent interest.
What are bonds?
A bond is a type of financial security in which the issuer owes the holder debt and is obligated depending on the terms to repay the principal of the bond as well as interest over a specified period of time.
Given that,
Approximate market value of $1,000 is $1,200
Interest rate is 6%
[tex]\rm\,Annual \; Interest = (face \; value)\times Interest \; rate\\ \rm\,Annual \;Interest = 1,000 \times 6\%\\ \rm\,Annual \;Interest = 60\\\\Calculation of comparable bond interest rate:\\\\Approximate \;bond \;value = \frac{Annual\; interest}{Comparable \;interest\; rate} \\\\1200 =\frac{60}{Comparable\; Interest \;Rate} \\\\Comparable\; Interest\; Rate = 5\%[/tex]
Hence, the comparable bonds pay a 5% interest rate.
