    Units of bonds to be sold = 51, 122.75 units

    Explanation:

    The price of a bond is the present value (PV) of the future cash inflows expected from the bond discounted using the yield to maturity.

    The price of the bond can be calculated as follows:

    Step 1

    PV of interest payment

    Interest payment = (5.98% * $2000) / 2

    = $59.8

    Semi annual yield = 6.76/2 = 3.38 %

    PV of interest payment

    = 59.8 * (1 - (1.0338) ^ (-15*2)) / 0.0338)

    =$ 1116.5682

    Step 2

    PV of redemption value

    = 2,000 * (1+0.0338) ^ (-15*2)

    = 737.7923719

    Step 3

    Price of bond

    =$ 1116.568 + 737.7923

    =1854.360

    Step 4

    unit of bonds to be sold

    = Amount to be raised / price of bond

    =$94.8 million/1854.360

    = 51, 122.75 units
