Explanation

The call price of a bond equals its face value plus the call premium. Given the call premium is $630 and the call price is $240, the face value can be calculated by subtracting the premium from the call price: Face Value = Call Price - Call Premium = 240 - 630 = -390. However, since face value cannot be negative, the correct interpretation is that the call price includes the face value plus premium, so Face Value = Call Price - Call Premium = 870 - 630 = 240. Therefore, the correct face value is 390.
