On January 1, 20x1, Smith Company issued $15,000,000 of 20-year, 5% bonds, with interest payable annually on December 31 of each year. The bonds were sold at an effective rate of 7% for $11,821,800.

22. What is the maturity value of the bond issue?

23. What is the coupon rate?

24. What is the yield?

25. This is a multi-part problem because the answers are dependent upon one another such that missing one part would likely result in missing other parts.

a. How much interest will be paid to bondholders every year? Show your calculations.

b. Consider the bond amortization schedule for 20x1 (the year of issuance). How much interest expense would be shown on the 20x1 income statement? Show your calculations

c. Again consider the 20x1 amortization schedule. By how much would the premium or discount be amortized in 20x1? Show your calculations.

d. Continue to consider the 20x1 amortization schedule. What would the carrying value of the bonds be on the 20x1 year-end balance sheet? Show your calculations.

26. Flash forward 20 years. After the last annual interest payment and amortization of the discount or premium, what will the carrying value of the bonds be?

27. This is a multi-part problem.

a. How much total cash interest payments will be paid over the entire life of the bond issue? Show your calculations.

b. How much total interest expense will be reported over the entire life of the bond issue? Show your calculations. (The computations are quite simple. You do not need a complete amortization schedule to answer it.)

c. Why are your answers to Parts (a) and (b) different? Be specific.
