6/1/18 | 40,000 | 54,882 | 14,882 | 155,722 | 1,844,278 | |
270 | 2,000,000 |
The info to put into the PV function that I used was: FV -2,000,000, PMT -40,000, NPER 10, Rate 0.03.
Info was) Semi- anual interest, Issued bond for 2,000,000 Jan 1st 2018, matures 5 years, Market Rate interest 6%, Stated Interst Rate 4%.
The goal is to get the bottom discount balance at the end of the table to 0, and the Bond Carrying Value to be 2,00,000. I am unsure how i have 270 at the bottom, and not 0. Do you know the correct way of calculating this?
