Will the actual realized yields be equal to the expected yields if interest rates change? If not, how will they differ? Select ONE from below:
A. As long as promised coupon payments are made, the current yield will not change as a result of changing interest rates. However, changing rates will cause the price to change and as a result, the realized return to investors should equal the YTM.
B. As long as promised coupon payments are made, the current yield will change as a result of changing interest rates. However, changing rates will cause the price to change and as a result, the realized return to investors should equal the YTM.
C. As long as promised coupon payments are made, the current yield will change as a result of changing interest rates. However, changing rates will not cause the price to change and as a result, the realized return to investors should equal the YTM.
D. As rates change they will cause the end-of-year price to change and thus the realized capital gains yield to change. As a result, the realized return to investors will differ from the YTM.
E. As long as promised coupon payments are made, the current yield will change as a result of changing interest rates. However, changing rates will cause the price to change and as a result, the realized return to investors will differ from the YTM.
