Requirement (a) – Selling Price of the Bond

Par Value = $59,000

Coupon Amount = $4,720 [$59,000 x 8%]

Yield to Maturity = 9%

Maturity Period = 11 Years

Price of the Bond = Present Value of the Coupon Payments + Present Value of the Par Value

= $4,720[PVIFA 9%, 11 Years] + $59,000[PVIF 9%, 11 Years]

= [$4,720 x 6.80519] + [$59,000 x 0.38753]

= $32,121 + 22,684

= $54,985

“The Selling Price of the Bond = $54,985”

Requirement (b) - Journal entry to record issuing the bond
