Requirement b
When Bond is issued at more than its face value then the difference between face value and amount it was issued for is known as Premium on bond.
When Bond is issued at less than its face value then the difference between face value and amount it was issued for is known as Discount on bond.
In the above case the difference between face value and issue value of bond is discount because bond coupon rate is less than market rate.
