The investors of the coupon bond will receive cash flow very soon if the ____________?

Correct answer: C. interest payment is higher

  • A. maturity is lower
  • B. maturity is higher
  • C. interest payment is higher
  • D. interest payment is lower

Explanation

A higher coupon produces larger interim cash flows, allowing investors to recover more of their investment earlier rather than waiting mainly for maturity. A higher maturity delays the final principal payment, so it does not make cash flow arrive sooner.
