Expert Solution

Answer is C.

Proceed from Issue = $111,294
Annual Market rate = 9.00%
Semi-annual Market Rate = 4.50%

Interest Expense = Proceed from Issue * Semi-annual Market Rate
Interest Expense = $111,294 * 4.50%
Interest Expense = $5,008.23

Interest expense of $5,008.23 will recorded for the first semi-annual interest period.

Answer 2 is C.

Face Value = $3,650,000
Annual Interest Rate = 8%
Semi-annual Interest Rate = 4%
Semi-annual Amortization of Discount = $10,000

Semi-annual Cash Interest = Face Value * Semi-annual Interest Rate
Semi-annual Cash Interest = $3,650,000 * 4%
Semi-annual Cash Interest = $146,000

Semi-annual Interest Expense = Semi-annual Cash Interest + Semi-annual Amortization of Discount
Semi-annual Interest Expense = $146,000 + $10,000
Semi-annual Interest Expense = $156,000

Annual Interest Expense = 2 * Semi-annual Interest Expense
Annual Interest Expense = 2 * $156,000
Annual Interest Expense = $312,000

Interest expense of $312,000 is recognized on the bond issue in Year 1.

Answer 3 is D.

Face Value = $2,700,000
Proceed from Issue = $2,516,532

Discount on Issue = Face Value - Proceed from Issue
Discount on Issue = $2,700,000 - $2,516,532
Discount on Issue = $183,468
