Workings Table:(Market rate and Stated Rate have been assumed to be same as 7%)
Formula for PV for Bond Liability = Bond Face Value/(1+7%)^10
Formula for semi annual Interest payments = (1-(1+3.5%)^-20)*175000/3.5%
Semi Annual Intererst Payments = 7%/2*Face Value of Bonds = 3.5%*50,000,000 = 175000
