Question 2
<![if !supportLists]>a) <![endif]>Jenny Corporation would like to raise $15 million to invest in capital expenditures.

(5 marks)
<![if !supportLists]>ii) <![endif]>Calculate total principal amount of these bonds Jenny Corporation must issue to raise $15 million today, assuming the bonds are AA rated (Since it cannot issue a fraction of a bond, assume that all fractions are rounded to the nearest whole number).
