b. If Lloyd plans to raise additional capital and wants to use debt financing, what coupon rate would it have to set in order to issue new bonds at par?
I. Since interest rates have risen since the bond was first issued, the coupon rate should be set at a rate above the current coupon rate.
II. Since the bonds are selling at a premium, the coupon rate should be set at the going rate, which is the YTC.
