Setrakian Industries needs to raise $48.5 million to fund a new project. The company will sell bonds that have a coupon rate of 5.56 percent paid semiannually and that mature in 10 years. The bonds will be sold at an initial YTM of 6.13 percent and have a par value of $2,000. How many bonds must be sold to raise the necessary funds

Answer:

25,317 unit

Explanation:

Current price of bond = PV(Rate, Nper, Pmt, Fv)

Current price of bond = PV(6.13%/2, 10*2 ,5.56%/2*2000, 2000)

Current price of bond = $1,915.71

Number of bonds to issue = $48,500,000 / $1,915.71

Number of bonds to issue = 25316.98430

Number of bonds to issue = 25,317 unit
