bond characteristics |

face amount | 40,100,000 |
interest payment | 1,804,500 |
market interest rate | 5.0% |
periods in maturity | 40 |
issue price | ? |
The Market rate 10% is per annum and half yearly interest rate will be 5% as given .
So the issue price will be present value of all the interest payments + present value of bond redemption payments
$ 1804500* PVAF(5%, 40)+ $40100000* PVIF(5%, 40)
($ 1804500*17.16)+ ($ 40100000*.1420)
= $ 30963571.3196 + $5696031.85633
= $ 36659603.1758
The Interest payment are 4.5% (1804500/40100000) which is less than market rate .
The Market interest rate is high which leads LOWER ISSUE PRICE of bonds.
