Question
Answer is not 1,000,00 or “none of the answers are correct”
Expert Solution
Answer
The suitable option for the given question seems to be "There is insufficient information to determine the answer" due to the following reasons.
-
- If Jackson issued 5-year bonds with par value of $ 1,000,000 with a stated interest of 6% payable semiannually, the cash issuance should be either of the same par value of $ 1,000,000 or any other costs added.
- But there is no clarity with regards what other costs are involved.
Hence, i am of the opinion, that There is insufficient information to determine the answer.
