Explanation / Answer
Net proceeds to Renee’s from the sale of the debt = $63,260,869.57
Issue Size – [ Issue Size x 0.08 ] = $ 58,200,000
0.92 x Issue Size = $ 58,200,000
Issue Size = $ 58,200,000 / 0.92
Net Proceeds = $63,260,869.57
Number of Bonds = 63,261 Bonds
= Net Proceeds / offer price per bond
= $63,260,869.57 / $1,000
= 63,261 Bonds
