Response:
b. A reduction in the YTM.
Detail:
The valuation of the bond is derived from the present worth of expected cash flows. When determining these present values for cash inflows or the bond's price, the YTM is utilized for discounting. It is known that a higher interest rate results in a lower present value, whereas a lower interest rate yields a greater present value. Interest rates and present value have an inverse relationship. Thus, a decrease in YTM will enhance the bond's price.
