Instructions
1-Calculate the issue price of the bonds.
2-Record the bond issuance
3-Record the first interest payment and use the straight line method to amortize the discount or premium.
Answer to Requirement 1:
Face Value of Bonds = $10,000,000
Annual Coupon Rate = 4.00%
Semiannual Coupon Rate = 2.00%
Semiannual Coupon = 2.00% * $10,000,000
Semiannual Coupon = $200,000
Time to Maturity = 10 years
Semiannual Period = 20
Annual Interest Rate = 3.00%
Semiannual Interest Rate = 1.50%
Issue Value of Bonds = $200,000 * PVA of $1 (1.50%, 20) +
$10,000,000 * PV of $1 (1.50%, 20)
Issue Value of Bonds = $200,000 * 17.1686 + $10,000,000 *
0.7425
Issue Value of Bonds = $10,858,720
Answer to Requirement 2 and 3:
Premium on Bonds = Issue Value of Bonds - Face Value of
Bonds
Premium on Bonds = $10,858,720 - $10,000,000
Premium on Bonds = $858,720
Semiannual Amortization of Premium = Premium on Bonds /
Semiannual Period
Semiannual Amortization of Premium = $858,720 / 20
Semiannual Amortization of Premium = $42,936
Semiannual Interest Expense = Semiannual Coupon - Semiannual
Amortization of Premium
Semiannual Interest Expense = $200,000 - $42,936
Semiannual Interest Expense = $157,064
