Answer #2

SOLUTION :


Face value of the bond = 7920000


Premium amount = 7920000 * (103 - 100)/100 = 237600


Maturity period of the bond = 10 years.


Coupon rate is 5%, paid semi-annually

Hence, coupon amount per period of payments

= Interest expense on the bond per period

= 7920000 * 0.05/2 

= 198000


Premium of 2376000 is to be amortised for 20 semi-annual periods


As per straight line method amortisation per period

= 2376000 / 20 

= 118800


So, total expense (considered as effective interest) per period

= Coupon amount - amortised premium

= 198000 -  118800

= 79200.



Bond  issued on October 1, 2018, so effective interest for 3 months is applicable in the year ending on Dec. 31, 2017.


Hence, effective interest expense in 2017 :


= 1/2 * interest per semi-annual period

= 1/2 * 79200 

= 39600 (ANSWER)

SOLUTION : CORRECT ANSWER :


Face value of the bond = 7920000


Premium amount = 7920000 * (103 - 100)/100 = 237600


Maturity period of the bond = 10 years.


Coupon rate is 5%, paid semi-annually

Hence, coupon amount per period of payments

= Interest expense on the bond per period

= 7920000 * 0.05/2 

= 198000


Premium of 237600 is to be amortised for 20 semi-annual periods


As per straight line method amortisation per period

= 237600 / 20 

= 11880


So, total expense (considered as effective interest) per period

= Coupon amount - amortised premium

= 198000 -  11880

= 186120



Bond  issued on October 1, 2018, so effective interest for 3 months is applicable in the year ending on Dec. 31, 2017.


Hence, effective interest expense in 2017 :
