Three $1,000 face value, 10-year, noncallable, bonds have the same amount of risk, hence their YTMs are equal. Bond 8 has an 8% annual coupon, Bond 10 has a 10% annual coupon, and Bond 12 has a 12% annual coupon. Bond 10 sells at par. Assuming that interest rates remain constant for the next 10 years, which of the following statements is CORRECT?
A. Bond 8's current yield will increase each year.
B. Since the bonds have the same YTM, they should all have the same price, and since interest rates are not expected to change, their prices should all remain at their current levels until maturity.
C. Bond 12 sells at a premium (its price is greater than par), and its price is expected to increase over the next year.
D. Bond 8 sells at a discount (its price is less than par), and its price is expected to increase over the next year.
E. Over the next year, Bond 8's price is expected to decrease, Bond 10's price is expected to stay the same, and Bond 12's price is expected to increase.

Office Plus, an office supply store, ordered 600 blank CDs from Curtis Co, a manufacturer of computer products. Office Plus placed the order using a preprinted purchase order form; Curtis acknowledged the order by sending a preprinted acceptance form back to Office Plus. Unlike Office Plus' form, which says nothing about packaging, Curtis's form specifies that the CDs will be packaged in cases of
10 CDs per box, 10 boxes per case. Which statement is correct? a. The UCC will classify this as a specialty goods exception and will reform the contract. b. Curtis's packaging term is a different term which materially changes the offer. There is no contract. c. Curtis's packaging term is an additional term and therefore a part of the contract unless Office Plus promptly objects to the term. d. The UCC does not cover the contract because both parties are merchants.
