Answer:

Understand that the YTM is the lowest for a premium bond because it not only reflects the fact that the bond is being purchased for more than par; but it also reflects the annual loss of the bond premium as a reduction of the investment return. A corporation has issued 10% AA rated sinking fund debentures at par.
