Crane issued $370,000 of 5%, 5-year bonds on January 1, 2021. Interest is payable semi-annually. Calculate the price of the bond: (a) 4%, (b) 5%, and (c) 6%.
Prepare the journal entry to record the issuance of the bond
assuming the market rate of interest is: (a) 4%, (b) 5%, and (c)
6%.
Required (a 4%):
Interest is payable semi-annually, Rate = 2%, N = 10
Price of bond = Interest * PVAF (2%,10) + RV * PVF(2%,10)
= (370,000 * 5% / 2) * 8.98258500592 + 370,000 * 0.82034829982
= 83,089 + 303,529
Price of bond = 386,618.
Required (b 5%):
Interest is payable semi-annually, Rate = 2.5%, N = 10
Price of bond = Interest * PVAF (2.5%,10) + RV * PVF(2.5%,10)
= (370,000 * 5% / 2) * 8.75206393076 + 370,000 * 0.78119840169
= 80,957 + 289,043
Price of bond = 370,000.
Required (c 6%):
Interest is payable semi-annually, Rate = 3%, N = 10
Price of bond = Interest * PVAF (3%,10) + RV * PVF(3%,10)
= (370,000 * 5%) / 2 * 8.5302028365 + 370,000 * 0.74409391486
= 78,904 + 275,315
Price of bond = 354,219.
