Answer to Question 1

False. Such an investment has a profit of zero. The investment is profitable if the internal rate of return exceeds the interest rate.

Answer to Question 2

True, for two reasons. First, the person is locked into a lower interest rate. Second, if the person needs to sell the bond, he will incur a loss since at higher interest rates, bond prices fall.
