Key Takeaways

  • •It must list the denomination (size) of each bond.
  • •It must describe the maturity method and interest rate (or maximum rate).
  • •It must say what the bond money will be used for, like building projects.

Example

The city wants to build a new community center and decides to raise money by selling bonds.
