Part 1, Question 3)a. $4,800
Explanation:
Interest Expense for 20x1=Interest Expense of coupon payments - Amortization of premium
Interest Expense of coupon payments for 6 months from July to December=150000*8%*6/12=6000
Amortization of premium of 6 months (to be now done in 32 months from July 20x1 to maturity date of March 1, 20x4)=(156400-150000)*6/32=1200
Interest Expense=6000-1200=$4,800
Part 2, Question 4)d, 160,400
Explanation:
Cash received=Issue price+Accrued Interest
Issue price=156400
Accrued Interest (on 150000@8% for 4 months from march to june)=150000*8%*4/12=4,000
Cash Received=156400+4000=$160,400
