Series B bonds will be similar to Series A bonds. They pay $12 on June 3. There will be 100 bonds sold, and a Dutch auction will be used to determine the bond price. The bids will be ranked in order, and the price of the 100th bond will become the market-clearing price. Please submit your bid price and quantity you would like to purchase.

On the basis of these terminologies and as per the needs and aspirations let us determine the price of the bonds
