Bonds
Bonds are a kind of interest bearing notes payable, usually issued by companies, universities and governmental organizations. It is a debt instrument used for the purpose of raising fund of the corporations or governmental agencies. If selling price of the bond is equal to its face value, it is called as par on bond. If selling price of the bond is lesser than the face value, it is known as discount on bond. If selling price of the bond is greater than the face value, it is known as premium on bond.
Effective interest rate of amortization bond
Effective interest rate method of amortization is a process of amortizing premium on bond or discount on bond, which allocates the different amount of interest expense in each period of interest payment, but at a constant percentage rate.

To Determine: The price value of the bonds as on 1st February 2018.
Explanation of Solution
Calculation of the price value of the bonds as on 1st February 2018 as shown below:
Working notes:
Calculation of the present value of the principal amount as shown below:
Particulars | Amount ($) |
Face value of bonds (a) | $80,000,000 |
PV factor at an annual market rate of 5% for 8 periods (b) | |
Present value of face value of the bonds
|
$54,147,200 |
Table (1)
Note: The present value of $1 for 8 periods at 5% is 0.67684 (refer Table 2 in Appendix).
Hence, present value of the principal amount is $54,147,200.
Calculation of the present value of the interest payment amount as shown below:
Particulars | Amount ($) |
Interest payments amount (a) | $3,600,000 |
PV factor at an annual market rate of 5% for 8 periods (b) | |
Present value of interest payments
|
$23,267,556 |
Table (2)
Note: The Present value of an ordinary annuity of $1 for 8 periods at 5% is 6.87396 (refer Table 4 in Appendix).
Hence, the present value of interest payment amount is $23,267,556.
Calculation of the amount of interest payment as shown below:
Hence, the amount of interest payment is $3,600,000.
Therefore, price value of the bonds as on 30th June 2020 is $77,414,756.
