Computing Bond Issue Proceeds and Issue Price
Your company plans to issue bonds later in the upcoming year. But with the economic uncertainty and varied interest rates, it is not clear how much money the company will receive when the bonds are issued. The company is committed to issuing 2,000 bonds, each of which will have a face value of $1,000, a stated interest rate of 8 percent paid annually, and a period to maturity of 10 years.
Required:
- 1. Compute the bond issue proceeds assuming a market interest rate of 8 percent. (Do not round until totaling the bond proceeds, at which point you should round the total bond proceeds to the nearest thousand dollars.) Also, express the
bond issue price as a percentage by comparing the (rounded) total proceeds to the total face value. - 2. Compute the bond issue proceeds assuming a market interest rate of 7 percent. (Do not round until totaling the bond proceeds, at which point you should round the total bond proceeds to the nearest thousand dollars.) Also, express the bond issue price as a percentage by comparing the (rounded) total proceeds to the total face value.
- 3. Compute the bond issue proceeds assuming a market interest rate of 9 percent. (Do not round until totaling the bond proceeds, at which point you should round the total bond proceeds to the nearest thousand dollars.) Also, express the bond issue price as a percentage by comparing the (rounded) total proceeds to the total face value.

Explanation of Solution
Compute the bond issue proceeds assuming a market interest rate of 8%.
Particulars | Amount ($) |
Face Value (1) | $2,000,000 |
Present value factor(2) | 0.46319 |
Present value of face amount(3) | $926,380 |
Face Value (1) | $2,000,000 |
Stated interest rate(4) | 0.08 |

Present value of interest payments (13) | $1,123,773 |
Total Bond Proceeds (14) | $2,140,473 |
Table (1)
Therefore, the total bond proceeds, rounded to the nearest thousand is $2,140,000.
Working Notes:
Calculate the present value factor.
Present value of $1 at 7% for 10 years is 0.50835 as per the Present Value Table.
(10)
Calculate the present value of face amount.
Calculate the present value factor.
Present value of $1 at 7% for 10 years is 7.02358 as per the Present Value of Annuity Table.
(12)
Calculate the present value of interest payments.
Calculate the total bond proceeds.
Compute the bond issue proceeds percentage by comparing the total proceeds to the total face value.
Calculate the total bond proceeds percentage.
Thus, the total bond proceeds percentage is 107%.
Therefore, the bond issue proceeds assuming a market interest rate of 7% is $2,140,473, and the total proceeds to the total face value is 107%.
