The complete question should be:
The financial manager for Bellandro Bay Brewery is working with the firm's marketing department to bring out a new line of pumpkin ale. The new product development and subsequent production will require a long-term investment of funds by the company. Which of the following sources of financing would be representative of such a long-term funding requirement?
a) Issuance of bonds
b) Commercial paper
c) Line of credit
d) Factoring
Answer: Issuance of bonds
Step-by-step explanation:
Bellandro Bay Brewery can get capital to fund their new product by obtaining a bond to be repaid after a long period. A bond is a sum of money borrowed to be repaid, it is similar to a loan in that it is being repaid but the duration for repayment of a bond is longer, as a bond is paid in full at the maturity date of the bond.
