I vaguely remember that the spreads should reflect the risk differences, so I’m leaning towards option C, but I’m not confident.
AS
Ashton

I feel like I might have seen an example where Bond Y had a spread of zero. Could that be an option here?

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about how to approach this. I'll need to review my notes on bond pricing and spreads before attempting to solve this.

I'm feeling confident about A. A spread of 80 bps for Bond X and a negative spread for Bond Y? Now that's what I call a spicy meatball!

Nah, I'm going with C. A negative spread for Bond Y? That just doesn't make sense to me.
