Please explain solution. Thank you
Given data,
Face Value = $310000
Interest Rate = 7%
Semi annual Interest rate = 7% * 6/12 = 3.5%
Semi annual Interest = $310000 * 3.5% = $10850
Yield rate = 6.6%
Semi annual Yield rate = 6.6% * 6/12 = 3.3%
Issue Value = $320168.62
Premium on issue = Issued Value - Face Value = $320168.62 - $310000 = $10168.62
Requirement 1:
Amortization of premium using effective interest rate method:
