A) when a bond matures, the company must pay the face of the bond plus any interest due.

D) since the market rate is 3.29%, that is the interest that the investor will receive from the bond

E) when a bond is sold at a higher price than face value ($1,0112.90 > $1,000), it is sold at a premium

G) the bond's price for that specific day was $1,012.90
