Answer A.
Face Value of Bonds = $8,000,000
Annual Coupon Rate = 6.00%
Semiannual Coupon Rate = 3.00%
Semiannual Coupon = 3.00% * $8,000,000
Semiannual Coupon = $240,000
Time to Maturity = 20 years
Semiannual Period = 40
Annual Interest Rate = 5.00%
Semiannual Interest Rate = 2.50%
Issue Value of Bonds = $240,000 * PVA of $1 (2.50%, 40) +
$8,000,000 * PV of $1 (2.50%, 40)
Issue Value of Bonds = $240,000 * 25.102775 + $8,000,000 *
0.372431
Issue Value of Bonds = $9,004,114
