for amortizing bond premiums and discounts.
Kelly Corporation issued bonds on January 1, 2008. The bonds have a
face value of $472000 and mature in

How much interest will the bond pay on December 31,
2008?
What was the issue price of the bond? (Please round to the nearest
dollar
Answer : 1) Interest rate $37,760
2) Issue price $563,699
Explanation:
Interest rate = Face value * Stated interest rate
= $472,000 * 8/100
Interest rate = $37,760
Interest on December 31,2008 is $37,760
The present value of 15 payments is
PVAF(15, 6%Market rate) * $37,760
9.7122 * $37,760 = $366,732.67
The present value of the principal maturity value is:
PVF(15,6% Market rate) *$472,000
0.4173 * $472,000 = $196,965.60
The issue price of bond is sum of the two present value
$366,732.67 +$196,965.60 = $563,699
