Explanation / Answer

Answer :

Assume bond face value is $ 1000

Interest will be 1000*7% = $ 70 paid annualy or $35 semi annually

Tenure of Bonds = 5 years = 10 semi annual

Required rate of return = 6%

Value of Bond will be =

  

$ 1042.55.

We use present value method. proceeds from bonds will be

920000/1000*1042.55

= $ 959146/-

This bond sale on premium becasue its interest rate is more than the market interest rate.

Balance sheet on 12/31/2016

35 (PVIFA 3% 10) +1000(PVIF 3%,10) 35*8.530+1000*.744

$ 1042.55.

We use present value method. proceeds from bonds will be

920000/1000*1042.55

= $ 959146/-

This bond sale on premium becasue its interest rate is more than the market interest rate.
