On January 2, 2008, Sanborn Corporation issued 10 year bonds with a face value of $300,000 and 8% face interest, payable semi-annually. The bonds were issued to yield an effective interest rate of 10% (the market rate). What is the present value of the bonds on the issue date? (How much cash will Sanborn Corp receive on the issue date) Show your computations. ________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________ |
Annual market rate = 10%
Semi annual market rate = 5%
Semi Annual interest payment = 300,000 x 8% x 6/12
= $12,000
Present value of principal to be received at the maturity = Par value of bonds x Present value factor (r%, n)
= 300,000 x Present value factor (5%, 20)
= 300,000 x 0.37689
= $113,067
Present value of interest to be received periodically over the term of the bonds = Interest x Present value annuity factor (r%, n)
= 12,000 x Present value annuity factor (5%, 20)
= 12,000 x 12.46221
= $149,547
Present value of bond = Present value of principal to be received at the maturity + Present value of interest to be received periodically over the term of the bonds
= $113,067 + 149,547
= $262,614
