Fiance Homework Help - Bonds?

i = 0.12 / 2 = 0.06
n = 20 years * 2 times per year = 40

coupon: 800,000 * (0.11 / 2) = 44,000

Present value of principal repayment =

PV = FV / (1 + i)^n

= 800,000 / 1.06^40

= 77,777.75

Present value of interest payments =

use Present Value ordinary annuity "PVoa"...

PVoa = PMT [(1 - (1 / (1 + i)^n)) / i]

= 44,000[(1 - (1 / 1.06^40)) / 0.06]

= 44k[(1 - 0.09722) / 0.06]

= 44k[15.0463]

= 662,037.06

Price is the sum of the discounted cash flows: (add the two together) = $739,814.81

(Note that they give you this answer in the question. My answer is most likely off slightly due to rounding - they may have rounded at some point b/4 the very end, whereas I did not round until the very end.)

Obviously, I don't have the "template" but if you are being asked to use the effective interest rate method....

Accrue interest on the price at the periodic discount rate:

739,814.81 * 0.06 = $44,388.89
44,000
44,388.89 - 44,000 = 388.89
For the effective interest rate method, this amortization is "added" to the balance / reducing the total discount, such that for the next six month period you would accrue interest on...

739,814.81 + 388.89 = 740,203.70...* 0.06 = $44,412.22
subtract $44k coupon = 412.22
new "balance" 740,203.70 + 412.22 =740,615.92

As time passes, this "balance" will equal par ($800k) at maturity, and the bond discount will equal 0. Essentially, the effective interest rate method expenses the bond discount over time.

On January 1, 2012, Truman Corporation issued $800,000 of 20-year, 11% bonds for $739,813, yielding a market (yield) rate of 12%. Interest is payable semiannually on June 30 and December 31
