1. Charon Circuits just announced a 10-year, semiannual coupon payment bond issue with an original issue size of $20 million and a coupon of 8%. No principal will be repaid during the first two years; however, a sinking fund arrangement calls for 10% of the remaining principal to be repaid at the end of each year beginning at the end of year 3 and continuing until the full repayment of the remaining principal at the end of the 10th year. Create a payment schedule detailing Charon’s interest and principal payment obligation. Note that there are two interest payments per year and the sinking fund requires only one principal payment per year.
This is the payment schedule that shows the cumulative two semi annual Interest payments and Annual principle payments that are required to be paid by Charon Circuits. Direct payments or Sinking fund can be understood accordingly.
