Round all answers to the nearest whole number.
a. Calculate the proceeds that the Longo Corporation would
receive form the sale of the bonds.
$Answer
b. Calculate the interest expense on the bonds for the first
year.
$Answer
c. Calculate the book value of the bonds at the end of the first year.
interest Amount for semiannual period = face Vqalue * 6% * (6/12)
= 10000000 * 6% * (6/120
= $ 300000
Face Value of bonds = | $10,000,000 | ||
market Rate of interest per Annum = | 4% | ||

total values based on | |||
n = ( 5 years * 2 ) | 10 | ||
I = ( 4% / 2 ) | 2% | ||
Cash Flow | Table Value | amount | Present Value ( table Value * Amount ) |
par Value PVF ( i= 2% , n= 10) | 0.82035 | $10,000,000 | 8203500 |
interest Annuity PVA ( i= 2% , n= 10) | 8.98259 | 300000 | 2694777 |
Present Value of Bond | 10898277 | ||
Premium on Bonds = Issue Price - Facevalue
= 10898277 - 10000000
= $ 898277
problem - B
no | interest for semiannual period ($10m*6%*(6/12)) | Efffctive interest Amount ( 2% * Carrrying Amount of bond ) | premium Amortization | unamotized premium | Bond carrying Amount |
A | B | C (A-B) | D | E | |
( Cash paid ) | Debit(interest expense) | Debit (premium on bonds) | 898277 | 10898277 | |
1 | 300000 | 217966 | 82034 | 816243 | 10816243 |
2 | 300000 | 216325 | 83675 | 732567 | 10732567 |
interest expense for year 1 = 217966 + 216325
= $ 434290
problem C
Carrying Amount of bonds After 1st year = Carrying Amount - amortized premium for 1 year
= 10898277 - 82034 - 83675
= $ 10732567
