Question
From page 9-4 of the VLN, what causes the bond liability for a bond issued at a premium to decrease each interest payment period?
Group of answer choices
A. Paying the interest.
B. The amortization of the premium.
C. Paying the principal.
D. The bond liability does not decrease when a bond is issued at a premium.
![Bonds can be issued (sold) for more or less than their face value.
Sells at Face Amount (100%):
Bond Premium (>100%):
Bond Discount (<100%):
Determining the Issue Price of a Bond
1. Identify the two cash flows provided by the bond (Face value-a single sum AND Interest
payments [face x stated rate or if semiannual then face x % stated rate]-an annuity).
2. Compare the market rate with the stated rate to determine if bond will sell at face, premium or
discount. If at face then no more calculations are needed.
3. Eliminate the stated rate, you don't need it anymore as you already know the cash flows from
the bond.
4. Use the market rate and compounding periods to determine the correct factor to present value
the cash flows.
Practice
ABC Corporation wants to issue five-year $1,000 bonds 10% stated rate paying semi-annual interest.
Market rate of interest is 8%; (therefore, semiannual would be 5% stated rate and 4% market rate
respectively). What is the bond issue price on January 1, 20XA?
Calculate the issue price of the bond:
CASH FLOW X PV FACTOR (use market rate) =
Present Value
Present Value of Principal (Face)
Present Value of Interest Payment
(Face x stated)
Issue price (sales price)
OR with the TI BAII Plus Calculator
PMT
