Expert Solution
Step 1

solution :

given

face value of bond          = $140,000

coupon rate       =10%

interest payable semiannually

interest amount              = 140000 * 10%/2

                                           =7000

life                       =7 years

market rate of interest =10%

since market rate of interest       = coupon rate , the bond is a par value bond which means the issue price is equal to face value
