Explanation / Answer

Part A:

Market interest rate (r)= 9%

n= 5 (annual periods)

Present value of principle:

= $500,000 * PV factor for a single payment (9%, 5 periods)

= $500,000 * 0.64993

= $324,965

Calculation of present value of interest payment:

= $500,000 * 7%

= $35,000 (9%, 5 periods)

= $35,000 * 3.88965

= $136,138

Calculation of price of bond:

= PV of principle + PV of interest payments

= $324,965 + $136,138

= $461,103

The bond will be sold at a $38,897 ($500,000 - $461,103) discount from the face amount.

The bond will be sold at discount of $461,103 face value of $500,000 worth of bonds.
