Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The number of bonds needed is calculated by dividing the total amount to be raised ($25 million) by the price per bond. Assuming a AAA rating, the bonds are likely issued at or near par value, which is typically $1,000 per bond. Therefore, $25,000,000 / $1,000 = 25,000 bonds. However, if the bonds are issued at a slight premium or discount, the closest number of bonds needed would be 24,738.
