Explanation / Answer

Par value per bond - $100

No. of bonds – 3,300

Selling Price of Bond - $87.5

Cash Proceeds – 3,300 * $ 87.5 = 288,750

20 Payments of interest $13,200 = $264,000

Par Value at Maturity = $330,000

Total Repayment = $594,000

Less Amount Borrowed = $288,750

Total Bond Interest Expense = $305,250

Total Bond Interest Expense = $305,250

No of Repayments – 20

Thus, Interest exp per payment date = $15,262.5…..Based on straight line method.
