Look back at Table 7.5 and examine the Anadarko Petroleum and Clear Channel bonds that mature in 2017.

a. If these companies were to sell new $1,000 par value long-term bonds, approximately what coupon interest rate would they have to set if they wanted to bring them out at par?

b. If you had $10,000 and wanted to invest in the Anadarko Petroleum bonds, what return would you expect to earn? What about the Clear Channel bonds? Based just on the data in the table, would you have more confidence about earning your expected rate of return if you bought Anadarko Petroleum bonds or Clear Channel bonds? Explain.
