JRJ Corporation issued 10-year bonds at a price of $1,000. These bonds pay $60 interest every six months. Their price has remained the same since they were issued; that is, the bonds still sell for $1,000. Due to additional financing needs, the firm wishes to issue new bonds that would have a maturity of 10 years and a par value of $1,000 and pay $40 interest every six months. If both bonds have the same yield, how many new bonds must JRJ issue to raise additional capital of $2 million

JRJ must issue 2,596 bonds to raise additional capital of $2 million.

Explanation:

From the question, we have the following:

Amount needed to be raised = $2 million = $2,000,000

Coupon rate = 8.0%, or 0.08

FV = Face value = 1000

Year to maturity = 10

NPER = Number of period = Year to maturity * Number of semiannuals in a year = 10 * 2 = 20

PMT = (FV * Coupon rate) / Number of semiannuals in a year  =(1000 * 0.08) / 2 = 40

Rate = Semiannual interest / FV = $60 / $1000 = 0.06

The net proceeds can be calculated using the following excel function:

Net proceed = PV(rate, NPER, -PMT, -FV) (1)

Substituting all the relevant value into equation (1), we have:

Net proceed = PV(6%, 20, -40, -1000)

Inputing =PV(6%, 20, -40, -1000) in any cell in excel sheet (Note: as done in the attached excel file), we have:

Net proceed = $770.60

Therefore, we have:

Number of bonds that must be raised = Amount needed to be raised / Net proceed = $2,000,000 / $770.60 = 2,596

the correct answer is economics is a game without winners or losers.

unlike sports or games economic is a game without losers or winner rather it is a game where everyone wins. parties of business doing businesses exchange money with each other and hence exchange is done on the basis of goods. one party takes the goods and other sales it so there is winner on both sides. each party values more highly the good it gets than the good it gives up. both sides exchange only because both intend to increase their value. so there is no concept of lose or win.
