If a corporation calls its bonds at 107.

Bond prices are quoted as a percentage of par. A call price of 107.45 means 107.45% of the bond’s $1,000 par value. Multiplying $1,000 by 107.45% produces a call price of $1,074.50. When an issuer calls a bond, it pays the call price plus any accrued interest owed up to the call date. Choice C is correct. Choice A incorrectly treats $74.50 as interest rather than the call premium over par. Choice B incorrectly treats 107.45 as an interest amount instead of a quoted percentage of par. Choice D is incorrect because accrued interest is paid to the bondholder; it is not subtracted from the call price. Callable bonds give the issuer the right to redeem the bonds before maturity, usually when doing so is economically favorable, such as when interest rates decline. The SIE outline includes debt instruments, par value, coupon value, yield, callable features, and the relationship between price and interest rates. This question tests both bond quote conversion and call settlement mechanics. Reference: Understanding Products and Their Risks; Debt Instruments; Par Value; Callable Features.
