Question

A company issued $50,000 of 8%, 10-year bonds on January 1. The bonds pay semi annual interest. The present value factor of a single amount of 20 periods at 8% is 0.2145.The present value of 10 periods at 4% is 0.6756. The present value of 20 periods at 4% is 0.4564. Determine the present value of the par value of the bonds. Multiple choice question. $22,820 $10,725 $50,000 $33,780 g

Answer 1

$22,820

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation to determine Determine the present value of the par value of the bonds.

Discount rate =8%/2

Discount rate= 4%

Present value factor of 20 periods at 4%= ( 1 / 1.04^20 )

Present value factor of 20 periods at 4%=0.4564

Using this formula

Present value of the par value of the bond = Future value of the bond x Present value factor =

Let plug in the formula

Present value of the par value of the bond=$50,000 x 0.4564

Present value of the par value of the bond = $22,820

Therefore the present value of the par value of the bonds is $22,820
