- Kiss Greetings planned to raise $500,000 by issuing bonds. The bond certificates were printed bearing a stated interest rate of 6%, which was equal to the yield rate of interest. However, before the bonds could be issued, economic conditions forced the yield rate up to 7%. If the life of the bonds is 10 years and interest is paid annually on December 31, how much will the company receive from the sale of the bonds? Group of answer choices Less than $500,000 because the 7% yield rate of interest was higher than the stated rate. The 6% bonds will not be sold at all. The company will be required to have the certificates reprinted bearing the new yield rate of 7%. Exactly $500,000 because the company would still pay interest at the stated rate. More than $500,000 because the 6% stated rate of interest was less than the yield rate.arrow_forwardTri-States Gas Producers expects to borrow $800,000 for field engineering improvements.
