Answer:
caring value of bond liability is $48000
interest expense = $3547
annual coupon = 3500
amount of bond discount amortization is $47
Explanation:
given data
face value = $50,000
bonds issue = 96
discount = 4%
time = 20 year
interest = 7%
effective rate of interest = 7.389%
to find out
compound annual coupon
solution
we have given face value and discount 4 %
so issue price will be
issue price = 96% of face value
issue value = 96% × 50000 = $48000
and
interest expense is here by effective interest rate is
interest expense = 7.389% of $48000
interest expense = $3547
and
annual coupon is here
annual coupon is 7% of face value
annual coupon = 7% × 50000
annual coupon = 3500
and
amount of bond discount amortization is 3547 - 3500 = $47
