A company is scheduled to make annual payments to a pension fund at the end of the next three
years. The present value of those payments is $100,000. Which of the following amounts is nearest the
amount which must be paid annually if the fund is projected to earn interest at the rate of 8% per
year?
(A) $33,333
(B) $26,461
(D) $41,990
(D) $38,803
(E) $39,403
Answer to Question 1:
Face Value = $8,000,000
Annual Coupon Rate = 11%
Annual Coupon = 11% * $8,000,000
Annual Coupon = $880,000
Annual Interest Rate = 9%
Time to Maturity = 10 years
Issue Price = $880,000 * PVIFA(9%, 10) + $8,000,000 * PVIF(9%,
10)
Issue Price = $880,000 * (1 - (1/1.09)^10) / 0.09 + $8,000,000 /
1.09^10
Issue Price = $880,000 * 6.4177 + $8,000,000 * 0.4224
Issue Price = $9,026,776
So, closet issuance price is $9,023,840
Answer to Question 2:
Face Value of Bonds = 300 * $1,000
Face Value of Bonds = $300,000
Issue Price of Bonds = 96% * $300,000
Issue Price of Bonds = $288,000
Annual Coupon Rate = 7%
Semiannual Coupon Rate = 3.50%
Semiannual Coupon = 3.50% * $300,000
Semiannual Coupon = $10,500
Discount on Bonds = Face Value of Bonds - Issue Price of
Bonds
Discount on Bonds = $300,000 - $288,000
Discount on Bonds = $12,000
Time to Maturity = 10 years
Semiannual Period to Maturity = 20
Semiannual Amortization of Discount = Discount on Bonds /
Semiannual Period to Maturity
Semiannual Amortization of Discount = $12,000 / 20
Semiannual Amortization of Discount = $600
Answer to Question 3:
Present Value of Payments = $100,000
Interest Rate = 8%
Number of Payments = 3
Present Value of Payments = Annual Payment * PVIFA(8%, 3)
$100,000 = Annual Payment * (1 - (1/1.08)^3) / 0.08
$100,000 = Annual Payment * 2.5771
Annual Payment = $38,803
