1.

Issue value of bonds = Face value of bonds * Bond issued at

Issue value of bonds = 280,000 * 109%

Issue value of bonds = 280,000 * 1.09

Issue value of bonds = $305,200

 

2.

Annual coupon = Face value of bonds * Coupon rate

Annual coupon = 280,000 * 13%

Annual coupon = 280,000 * 0.13

Annual coupon = $36,400

 

No. of coupon payments 2037 - 2017

No. of coupon payments = 20

 

Total cash payment = Face value of bonds + (No. of coupon payments * Annual coupon)

Total cash payment = 280,000 + (20 * 36,400)

Total cash payment = 280,000 + 728,000

Total cash payment = $1,008,000

 

3.

Total interest expense = Total cash payment - Issue value of bonds

Total interest expense = 1,008,000 - 305,200

Total interest expense = $702,800

 

4.

Annual interest expense by Straight−line amortization = (Annual coupon − (Issue value of bonds − Face value of bonds)No. of coupon payments) × No. of coupon paymentsAnnual interest expense by Straight−line amortization = (36,400 − (305,200 − 280,000)20) × 20Annual interest expense by Straight−line amortization = 35,140 × 20Annual interest expense by Straight−line amortization = $702,800
