I tried 106,418 and 532,205 are wrong answers.
ABC Co. issues $500,000, 10%, 10 year bonds when the prevailing market rate of interest is 11%. The bonds pay interest annually. Compute the issue price of the bonds.
470,450 and 470,124 are wrong answers.
Solution:
Problem 1 --- Issue Price of the bond – Market Interest Rate is 9%
We need to calculate the issue price of the bonds by using Market Interest Rate 9%. It is the market rate that an investor expects from the company.
Annual Coupon Interest = Face value of the bonds x Coupon Rate= $500,000*10% = $50,000
Market Interest Rate (R) = 9%
Period to maturity (n) = 10
Issue Price of the bonds = Coupon Interest x PVIFA (9%, 10) + Face value x PVIF (9%, 10)
= (50,000*6.41766) + (500,000*0.42241)
= $532,088
Calculation of Discounting factors rounded to 5 decimal places (In case question is provided rounded of 3 decimal places, the answer will be changed accordingly)
Present value interest factor for ordinary annuity PVIFA (R%, n) = (1 – 1/(1+R)n) / R
PVIFA (9%, 10) = ((1 – 1/(1+0.09)10)/0.09 = 6.41766
Present value interest factor PVIF (R%, n) = 1/(1+R)n
PVIF (9%, 10) = 1/(1+0.09)10 = 0.42241
Problem 2 --- Issue Price of the bond – Market Interest Rate is 11%
Annual Coupon Interest = Face value of the bonds x Coupon Rate= $500,000*10% = $50,000
Market Interest Rate (R) = 11%
Period to maturity (n) = 10
Issue Price of the bonds = Coupon Interest x PVIFA (11%, 10) + Face value x PVIF (11%, 10)
= (50,000*5.88923) + (500,000*0.35218)
= $294,462 + 176,090
= $470,552
Calculation of Discounting factors rounded to 5 decimal places (In case question is provided rounded of 3 decimal places, the answer will be changed accordingly)
Present value interest factor for ordinary annuity PVIFA (R%, n) = (1 – 1/(1+R)n) / R
PVIFA (11%, 10) = ((1 – 1/(1+0.11)10)/0.11 = 5.88923
Present value interest factor PVIF (R%, n) = 1/(1+R)n
PVIF (11%, 10) = 1/(1+0.11)10 = 0.35218
