What is the "call" feature of a bond issue? How does the call feature affect the amortization of bond premium or discount?
The call feature of a bond issue grants the issuer the privilege of purchasing, after a certain date at a stated price, outstanding bonds for the purpose of reducing indebtedness or taking advantage of lower interest rates. The call feature does not affect the amortization of bond discount or premium; because early redemption is not a certainty, the life of the bonds should be used for amortization purposes.
