Issue price of the bonds = Present value of principal + Present value of interest payments
= Face value of the bonds issued x PVIF (8%, 10 years) + Annual interest payment x PVIAF (8%, 10 years)
= $10,000,000*0.4632 + ($10,000,000*8.25%)*6.7101
= $10,167,833
Hence the issue price of the Bonds is $10,167,833.
