10. Selling bonds. Lunar Vacations needs to raise $6,000,000 for its new project (a golf course
on the moon). Astro Investment Bank will sell the bond for a commission of 2.5%. The
market is currently yielding 7.5% on twenty-year semiannual bonds. If Lunar wants to issue a
6% semiannual coupon bond, how many bonds will it need to sell to raise the $6,000,000?
ANSWER
First find the price of each bond in the market and then discount the bond by the commission.
Take the net price to Lunar Vacations and divide this into the $6,000,000 for the number of
bonds needed.
