James Corporation is planning to issue bonds with a face value of $508,500 and a coupon rate of 6 percent. The bonds mature in 7 years and pay interest semiannually every June 30 and December 31. All of the bonds will be sold on January 1 of this year. (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, and PVA of $1) (Use the appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided. Round your final answer to whole dollars.)
Required:
Compute the issue (sale) price on January 1 of this year for each of the following independent cases:
a. Case A: Market interest rate (annual): 4 percent.
b. Case B: Market interest rate (annual): 6 percent.
c. Case C: Market interest rate (annual): 8.5 percent.
We have the following informations: | |||
Face Value = $508,500 | |||
Coupon Rate = 3.00% | |||
No. of payments = 14(7years*2 payments each year) | |||
Coupon Amount = $508,500*3% =$15,225 | |||
Maturity Amount = $508,500+15,225 = 523,725 | |||
Case A:Market Interest Rate is 4% | The market interest rate (Semi-annual) will be 2% | ||
So discounting will be done @2% for 14 period: | |||
