Present Value of Bonds Payable; Premium
Moss Co. issued $100,000 of five-year, 11% bonds with interest payable semiannually, at a market (effective) interest rate of 8%.
Determine the present value of the bonds payable, using the present value tables in Exhibit 8 and Exhibit 10.
Note: Round to the nearest dollar.
$
Par value of bonds = $100,000
Stated interest rate = 11%
Semi annual interest payment = 100,000 x 11% x 6/12
= $5,500
Market interest rate = 8%
Semi annual market interest rate = 8/2
= 4%
Bond life = 5 years or 10 semi annual years
Present value of principal to be received at the maturity = Par value of bonds x Present value factor (r%, n)
= 100,000 x Present value factor (4%, 10)
= 100,000 x 0.67556
= $67,556
Present value of interest to be received periodically over the term of the bonds = Interest x Present value annuity factor (r%, n)
= 5,500 x Present value annuity factor (4%, 10)
= 5,500 x 8.11090
= $44,610
Present value of bond = Present value of principal to be received at the maturity + Present value of interest to be received periodically over the term of the bonds
= 67,556 + 44,610
= $112,166
Exact answer may slightly differ due to rounding off and factor values considered.
