Answer 1

Answer:

$49,550,000

Explanation:

Data provided

Bonds per value = $50,000,000

Spread of $45 for each $5,000 bond

Per bond = $10.00

Selling concession = $30.00 per bond

The calculation of given question is as shown below:-

Issuer receives = $5,000 - $45

= $4,955

Offering bond = $50,000,000 ÷ $5,000

= $10,000

Receive amount= offering bond × Issuer receives

= $10,000 × $4,995

= $49,550,000
