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.

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%.
3.

To compute: The bond issue proceeds assuming a market interest rate of 9% and express it as a percentage by comparing the total proceeds to the total face value.
Answer to Problem 6E
The bond issue proceeds assuming a market interest rate of 9% is $1,871,646, and the total proceeds to the total face value is 93.60%.
Explanation of Solution
Compute the bond issue proceeds assuming a market interest rate of 9%.
Particulars | Amount ($) |
Face Value (1) | $2,000,000 |
Present value factor (16) | 0.42241 |

FUNDAMENTALS OF FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING
- ayco Inc. started its operations in 2022. Its sales during 2022, all on account, totalled $700,000. The company collected $500,000 in cash from customers during the year and wrote off $8,000 in uncollectible accounts. The company set up an allowance for doubtful accounts at December 31, 2022, its fiscal year-end, and determined the account balance to be $14,000. The unadjusted balances of selected accounts at December 31, 2023 are as follows: Accounts receivable $ 300,000 Allowance for doubtful accounts (debit) 10,000 Sales revenue (including 80 percent in sales on account) 800,000 Aging of the accounts receivable on December 31, 2023, resulted in an estimate of $11,000 in potentially uncollectible accounts. Required: 1. Prepare the journal entries to record all the transactions during 2022 and post them to appropriate T-accounts. (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field.)…arrow_forwardCalculate the sample size based on the specifications in Buhi's contract. Make sure it is within budget, reasonable to obtain, and that you use appropriate inputs relative to market research best practices. Use the calculator to adjust the sample size statement. Use the agreed-upon sample size in Buhi's contract: 996. In your secondary research, find the target population size (an estimate of those in the United States looking to purchase luggage in the category in the next two years). You will use this target population size for each sample size estimate. Adjust the provided sample size calculator inputs to find the rest of the figures that get you to the agreed-upon sample size. The caveats from Buhi are that you must: Use the market research standard for your confidence level. Use a confidence interval that is better than the market research standard for your confidence interval.arrow_forwardThe partnership of Keenan and Kludlow paid the following wages during this year: Line Item Description Amount M.
