Answer:

Huron Investments issues $1 million in 13.250% bonds maturing August 11, 2028. The bond is callable August 11, 2023 at a call premium of 2.500%. August 11, 2023 the prevailing yield is 5.250%. If Huron Investments calls the entire issue and replaces it with 5.250% bonds also maturing August 11, 2028 then each semi-annual coupon payment will decrease by $125,000

Explanation:

Change in semi-annual coupon = (13% - 6.75%) x 4m / 2 = $125,000
