Yanıt Açıklaması:

The bonds conventionally have fixed interest payments up to maturity as calculated based on the fixed par value. However, by the time the changing interest environment in the international financial markets, floating-rate bonds (floaters) began to be issued in which, the coupon payments are adjustable. The adjustments are tied to an interest rate index such as the Treasury bill interest rate or the 30-year Treasury bond rate and the value of a floating-rate bond depends on exactly how the coupon payment adjustments are defined.
