Round to the nearest dollar. Explain why the company was able to issue the bonds for $20,811,010 rather than for the face amount of $20,000,000. c. OBJ.3 ng and calling bonds; loss

Explanation / Answer

a. Issuance of Bonds

b. First Interest Payment and amortization of premium

Since the company uses straight-line amortization, amortization will be recorded each time interest is paid. On a 5-year semiannual bond, there will be 10 payments.

Interest expense is $900,000 less the amount of the amortized premium of $ 81,101.

Answer c

Market Value of Bond is the present value of its interest payments and final redemption value. In our case interest on bonds is paid at 9% per annum and marker rate of interest at that time is 8%, discounted value (present value) of the cash outflow is more than face value of the bond.

This can be seen from the following calculations:

Minor difference is due to approximation of PVIF
