Face Value of Bonds = $1,000,000
Issue Value of Bonds = $900,000
Discount on Bonds = Face Value of Bonds - Issue Value of
Bonds
Discount on Bonds = $1,000,000 - $900,000
Discount on Bonds = $100,000
Annual Coupon Rate = 12.00%
Semiannual Coupon Rate = 6.00%
Semiannual Coupon = 6.00% * $1,000,000
Semiannual Coupon = $60,000
Time to Maturity = 10 years
Semiannual Period = 20
Semiannual Amortization of Discount = Discount on Bonds /
Semiannual Period
Semiannual Amortization of Discount = $100,000 / 20
Semiannual Amortization of Discount = $5,000
Semiannual Interest Expense = Semiannual Coupon + Semiannual
Amortization of Discount
Semiannual Interest Expense = $60,000 + $5,000
