Answer 1

Face Value = $2,200,000
Proceed from Issue = $2,076,302

Discount on Issue = Face Value - Proceed from Issue
Discount on Issue = $2,200,000 - $2,076,302
Discount on Issue = $123,698

Answer 1.

Answer 2.

Semiannual Cash Payment = Face Value * Annual Stated Rate * Year
Semiannual Cash Payment =$2,200,000 * 10% * 1/2
Semiannual Cash Payment = $110,000

Semiannual Amortization of Discount = Discount on Bonds / Semiannual Period to Maturity
Semiannual Amortization of Discount = $123,698 / 18
Semiannual Amortization of Discount = $6,872

Semiannual Interest Expense = Semiannual Cash Payment + Semiannual Amortization of Discount
Semiannual Interest Expense = $110,000 + $6,872
Semiannual Interest Expense = $116,872

Answer 3.

Interest Expense for Year 1 = $116,872

Answer 4.

Yes
