Face Value of Bonds = $200,000
Discount on Bonds = $15,000
Annual Coupon Rate = 7.00%
Annual Coupon = 7.00% * $200,000
Annual Coupon = $14,000
Time to Maturity = 30 years
Annual Amortization of Discount = Discount on Bonds / Time to
Maturity
Annual Amortization of Discount = $15,000 / 30
Annual Amortization of Discount = $500
Annual Interest Expense = Annual Coupon + Annual Amortization of
Discount
Annual Interest Expense = $14,000 + $500
Annual Interest Expense = $14,500
Therefore, interest expense on the bond each year is $14,500
