The value of a bond is its stated face value or maturity value, and its coupon interest rate is the stated annual interest rate on the bond. The maturity date is the date on which the par value must be repaid. A provision gives the issuer the right to redeem the bonds under specified terms prior to their normal maturity date, although not all bonds have this provision. Some bonds have provisions which require the issuer to systematically retire a portion of the bond issue each year. Because sinking fund provisions facilitate their orderly retirement, bonds with these provisions are regarded as being so they will have coupon rates than similar bonds without these provisions.

To be effective in issuing and investing in bonds, knowledge of their terminology, characteristics, and features is essential. For example: • A bond's face value is generally $1,000 and represents the amount borrowed from the bond's first purchaser. • A bond issuer is said to be in default if it does not pay the interest or the principal in accordance with the terms of the indenture agreement or if it violates one or more of the issue's restrictive covenants. • A bond contract feature that requires the issuer to retire a specified portion of the bond issue each year is called a sinking fund. • A bond's call provision gives the issuer the right to call, or redeem, a bond at specific times and under specific conditions. Suppose you read an article about the Golden Gate Bridge and Highway District bonds. It includes the following information: What is the coupon interest rate of this bond?
