Which of the following is not considered a factor to influence the bondholders required rate of return?

Business risk
Risk premium
Answer: 2nd option
Other investments apart from the required should not be considered here.
Required rate is the internal rate of bond. All sorts of risks are factors there – such as financial risk, business risk, etc. Higher the risk higher would be the return; and vice versa. Risk premium is awarded by the company to bondholders in case of longer period of maturity.
