92. Moon Software Inc. is planning to issue two types of 25-year,
noncallable bonds to raise a total of $6 million, $3 million from each
type of bond. First, 3,000 bonds with a 10% semiannual coupon will be
sold at their $1,000 par value to raise $3,000,000. These are called
“par” bonds. Second, Original Issue Discount (OID) bonds, also with a
25-year maturity and a $1,000 par value, will be sold, but these bonds
will have a semiannual coupon of only 6.25%. The OID bonds must be
offered at below par in order to provide investors with the same
effective yield as the par bonds. How many OID bonds must the firm
issue to raise $3,000,000? Disregard flotation costs, and round your
final answer up to a whole number of bonds.
