Answer #1

Answer:

Face value is $410,000

Interest payment = Face value x interest rate = $410,000 x 9% x 6/12 = $18,450

Issue price:

Present value of the interest payments $215,673
[$18,450 x 11.68959 present value annuity factor (5%, 18 years)]
Present value of the face value $170,363
[$410,000 x 0.41552 present value factor (5%, 18 years)]
Issue price of the bonds $386,036
