Company X is issuing bonds. They plan to issue 10,000, $1000 par, 6% bonds that pay semi-annual for 5 years. What are the proceeds from this bond sale if the market rate is 7%?
Par value of bonds = Number of bonds x Par value per bond
= 10,000 x 1,000
= $10,000,000
Semi annual interest payment = Par value of bonds x Stated interest rate x 6/12
= 10,000,000 x 6% x 6/12
= $300,000
Market interest rate = 7%
Semi annual Market interest rate = 3.5%
Maturity period of bonds = 5 years or 10 semi annual periods
Present value of principal to be received at the maturity = Par value of bonds x Present value factor (r%, n)
= 10,000,000 x Present value factor (3.5%, 10)
= 10,000,000 x 0.70892
= $7,089,200
Present value of interest to be paid periodically over the term of the bonds = Interest x Present value annuity factor (r%, n)
= 300,000 x Present value annuity factor (4%, 30)
= 300,000 x 8.31661
= $2,494,983
Proceeds from bond = Present value of principal to be paid at the maturity + Present value of interest to be paid periodically over the term of the bonds
=7,089,200+2,494,983
= $9,584,183
