Face Value = $22,000,000
Issue Value = $23,829,684
Premium on Bonds Payable = Issue Value - Face Value
Premium on Bonds Payable = $23,829,684 - $22,000,000
Premium on Bonds Payable = $1,829,684
Annual Coupon Rate = 9%
Semiannual Coupon Rate = 4.50%
Semiannual Coupon = 4.50% * $22,000,000
Semiannual Coupon = $990,000
Annual Interest Rate =7%
Semiannual Interest Rate = 3.50%
