Kirby, Inc., is considering the sale of two bond issues. Choice A is a $800,000 bond issue that pays semiannual interest of $64,000 and is due in 20 years. Choice B is a $800,000 bond issue that pays semiannual interest of $60,000 and is due in 15 years. Assume that the market interest rate for each bond is 8 percent. Calculate the amount that Kirby will receive if both bond issues are made. (Hint: Calculate the present value of each bond issue and sum.)
1. Amount that Kirby received from Choice A
Amount that Kirby received from Choice A = Interest * PVAF(4%, 40) + Redemption * PVF (4%,40)
Amount that Kirby received from Choice A = 64000 * 19.7928 + 800000 * 0.2083
Amount that Kirby received from Choice A = $1433368.76
2. Amount that Kirby received from Choice B
Amount that Kirby received from Choice B = Interest * PVAF(4%, 30) + Redemption * PVF (4%,30)
Amount that Kirby received from Choice B = 60000 * 17.2920 + 800000 * 0.3083
Amount that Kirby received from Choice B = $1284176.93
Amount that Kirby will receive if both bond issues are made = $2717545.70
