Corp1 issued $250,000 of 3-year bonds with 5% interest payable semiannually at a time when the
market rate of interest was 6%. How much did the company receive in issuance proceeds?
Computation of cash proceeds from issuance of Bonds:
Cash proceeds = Coupon Amount x Present Value Annuity factor (r,n) + Face value x Present Value interest factor (r,n)
Coupon Amount = $250000 x 5% x 1/2 = $6250
Semiannual market interest rate = 6% / 2 = 3%
n = 3 years x 2 = 6 semiannual period
Cash proceeds = $6250 x Present Value Annuity factor (3% , 6) + $250000 x Present Value interest factor (3% ,6)
= $6250 x 5.41719 + $250000 x 0.83748
= $33857.44 + $209370
= $243227.44
