Explanation / Answer

A./

PRESENT VALUE OF THE PRINCIPAL

= MATURITY VALUE * PVIF 8%, 8PERIODS

= $3000000 * 0.540

= $1620000

B./

PRESENT VALUE OF INTEREST

= SEMIANNUAL INTEREST * PVIFA 4%, 16PERIODS

= $90000 * 11.652

= $1048680

C./

THE ISSUE PRICE OF THE BOND

= PRESENT VALUE OF INTEREST + PRESENT VALUE OF PRINCIPAL

= $1048680 + $1620000

= $2668680
