I practiced a similar question where the issuer's past record was a key factor, so I wonder if that applies here too.

This is a tricky one. I know the gross spread is important, but I'm not as familiar with all the factors that can affect it. I'll have to review my notes and try to reason through the options.

Okay, let's see. The gross spread is the difference between the price the issuer receives and the price the public pays, right? So it's probably related to the size of the issue, the industry, and the issuer's past performance. I'll have to weigh the options.

D, all of the above. It's the safe bet, and in a test like this, I'd rather play it safe than try to outsmart the question writers. Hey, at least I'll get partial credit, right?

Clearly, the past record of the issuing corporation is the most important factor. Anyone who doesn't choose C is probably just trying to impress the examiner with their 'outside the box' thinking. *rolls eyes*
