On January 1, 2014, Aumont Company sold 12% bonds having a maturity value of $500,000. The market determined that 10% was the appropriate rate of interest, given the risks that Aumont Company presents to bondholders. The bonds are dated January 1, 2014, mature January 1, 2019, and pay interest on December 31 of each year.

1. Determine the amount that bondholders will pay Aumont for these bonds when the bonds are issued on January 1, 2014.

Present value of the maturity value =

500,000 x [PVSS, n = 5, i = 10%] =

500,000 x .62092 = 310,460

Present value of interest payments =

(500,000 x .12) x [PVOA factor, n = 5, i = 10%] =

60,000 x 3.79079 = 227,447

Price of the bond = total present value of the future cash flows = 310,460 + 227,447 = $537,907

2. Complete the following amortization table for the first two interest payments.

Date	Cash Interest	Effective Interest	Premium Amortization	Carrying Amount
1/1/14				537,907
12/31/14
12/31/15
