1. What is the amount of the premium on these
bonds at issuance?
2. How much total bond interest expense will be
recognized over the life of these bonds?
3. Prepare an effective interest amortization
table for these bonds.
Answer 1.
Face Value of Bonds = $860,000
Issue Value of Bonds = $905,068
Premium on Bonds Payable = Issue Value of Bonds - Face Value of
Bonds
Premium on Bonds Payable = $905,068 - $860,000
Premium on Bonds Payable = $45,068
Answer 2.
Annual Coupon Rate = 10.00%
Semiannual Coupon Rate = 5.00%
Semiannual Coupon = 5.00% * $860,000
Semiannual Coupon = $43,000
Time to Maturity = 3 years
Semiannual Period = 6
Answer 3.
Annual Interest Rate = 8.00%
Semiannual Interest Rate = 4.00%
