Please use the following reference to answer the questions: Accounting Standards Codification 470 (Subtopic 50; Section 40; Subsection 2) (formerly: FASB Statement No. 145, Rescission of FASB Statements No.4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections, par. 6.)

On 1/1/16, BIGDEBT issued $12,000,000 face value bonds, dated 1/1/16, with a coupon rate of 10% for a price of $11,116,790. Interest is paid semiannually on 6/30 and 12/31. The bonds have a 5-year life, with principal due on 12/31/20. The bonds are callable (redeemable) by BIGDEBT at any time at a price of 1.07 (or $1,070 per $1,000 bond). Compute the annual market interest rate (i.e., what was the market rate of interest on Jan. 1, 2016--the date the bonds were issued.)

13. Assume on 1/1/18 that BIGDEBT has decided to refinance its debt. Assume all the

data about the bond issue (as given in Requirement #8 above).

The new bond issue has a 14% coupon rate, 3-year life, and the new bonds are issued at face with interest payments on each 6/30 and 12/31.
