Abstract

Bond rating is a risk scale which can illustrate the ability of a company in fulfilling its obligation to pay interest or pay off principal. The higher the bond rating, the more a company is considered able to fulfill its obligation punctually. Conversely, the lower the bond rating, the higher the risk of failure to pay.
