Question 2
Cosmic Communications Inc. is planning two new issues of 20-year bonds. Bond Par will be sold at its $1,000 par value, and it will have a 12% semiannual coupon. Bond OID will be an original issue discount bond, and it will also have a 20-year maturity and a $1,000 par value, but its semiannual coupon will be only 7%. If both bonds are to provide investors with the same effective yield, how many of the OID bonds must Cosmic issue to raise $4,000,000? Disregard flotation costs, and round your final answer up to a whole number of bonds.
