You need to choose between the following types of issues:

• A public issue of $10 million face value of 10-year debt. The interest rate on the debt would be 10.5%, and the debt would be issued at face value. The underwriting spread would be 1.9%, and other expenses would be $78,000.

• A private placement of $10 million face value of 10-year debt. The interest rate on the private placement would be 11.0%, but the total issuing expenses would be only $34,000.
