Payment for printing and engraving $26000
Legal fees $100000
Professional fees $8000
Underwriter's spread $230000
Total issue costs $364000
All the above highlighted costs are relevant to the bond's issuance ,hence they are added up in arriving at the bond's issuance costs.
The spread between the payment by the underwriter and the retail price is essential so as to ensure the number of bonds planned can be sold quickly.
