Computation of bond market price and Amoritization of premium or discount

Lighthouse Enterprises decided to issue $700,000 of 10 year bonds. The interest rate on the bonds is stated at 10%, payable semiannually. At the time the bonds were sold, the market rate had increased to 12%.

Intructions:

1. Deteremine the maximum amount an investor should pay for these bonds. (note: Round to the nearest dollar.)

2. Assuming that the amount in (1) is paid, compute the amount at which the bonds would be reported by the investor after being held for one year. Use two recognized methods and give support to the method you prefer. (Note: Round to the nearest dollar)
