Explanation / Answer

1) Bond issuance price $ 2,17,060.41 Working: a. Par Value           2,00,000 b. Semi annual coupon interest =         2,00,000 x 4% =              8,000 c. Present Value of annuity of 1 = (1-(1+i)^-n)/i Where, = (1-(1+0.03)^-10)/0.03 i                 0.03 =            8.5302 n                    10 d. Present Value of 1 = (1+i)^-n = (1+0.03)^-10 =          0.74409 e. Present Value of coupon         8,000 x       8.5302 =      68,241.62 Present Value of Par Value 2,00,000 x       0.7441 = 1,48,818.78 Present Value of cash flows 2,17,060.41 Price of bond is the present value of cash flows.So, price of bond is   2,17,060.41 2) Amount amortized $    1,488.19 Amount of interest expense $    6,511.81 3) Amount amortized $    1,532.83 Amount of interest expense $    6,467.17 Working: Amortization table: Date Coupon Interest Interest Expense Premium amortization Carrying Value January 1, 2016 2,17,060.41 June 30, 2016 8,000.00 6,511.81 1,488.19 2,15,572.22 December 31, 2016 8,000.00 6,467.17 1,532.83 2,14,039.38
