Answer:

The answer is: The bond price is expected to Increase over time, reaching par value at maturity

Step-by-step explanation:

If an investor purchased a bond when the bond current yield-to-maturity is higher than the bond's price, the bond is said to be bought at discount (its price is less than the face value at maturity). With this, the bond price will be expected to Increase over time, reaching par value at maturity.
