Explanation / Answer

Solution 1:

Selling price of bond = 75.50

Cash Proceed from issue of bonds = $250,000*75.50% = $188,750

Solution 2:

Total cash interest to be paid over life of bonds = $250,000*10.50%*6/12*30 = $393,750

Par value at maturity = $250,000

Total repayments = $393,750 + $250,000 = $643,750

Amount borrowed = $188,750

Total bond interest expense = $643,750 - $188,750 = $455,000

Solution 3:

Amount of interest expense to be recorded on first interest payment date = $188,750 * 14.50%*6/12 = $13,684.38
